FOOTNOTES:
Chris Rudd notes: 'Still looking as sharp as the day it was minted two-thousand years ago, this is unquestionably one of the prettiest Anted Triple Moons staters we have seen........ Today it is generally thought that the Anted in East Anglia was not the same king as the Anted in the Cotswolds. Dr Philip de Jersey says: "The Anted staters all appear to be from the same reverse die, which might suggest that this is really a very scarce issue"'.
