Another intriguing defaced #coin for #FindsFriday. This time it's a quarter stater of the Coriosolitae, 15mm diameter, with multiple cuts on the obverse - mostly vertical (ten, I think) but there's a horizontal one too. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to deface this... #numismatics #archaeology 🏺

In the civil service the disability pay gap stands at 8%.
Whilst the FDA applauds the civil service for choosing to publish their Disability Pay Gap figures voluntarily, employers must engage with unions to improve the working lives of disabled civil servants and remove workplace barriers.

Recorded two coins this week. 🏺 One is a gold (my first !!) half guinea of George III, bent on opposite sides and directions, probably a love token. The other is a massive silver bank token made when small change was short, also George III. Same bust for both. #FindsFriday

Probably my favourite duck - I love watching them dabble when I can catch a glimpse of them! I was lucky enough to see some Marbled Teal (aka Marbled Duck) in Spain earlier this year too.
Our #AutumnArrivalSpotlight turns to the Teal today, the UK’s smallest dabbling duck. 🦆
With visitors arriving from northern Europe, their vibrant green eye-stripes brighten our lakes and marshes.
