Harold I (1035-1040), Penny, Jewel Cross type, Lincoln, Mathan Balluc, nadan ballvc o lin, 1.12g/12h (Talvio L1b; Smart p.444; SCBI Stockholm 312; Mossop –; BEH –; N 802; S 1163). Flan creased, otherwise better than very fine and dark toned; the moneyer’s name very unusual and rare £1,200-£1,500 --- Veronica Smart discusses this moneyer (Matathan Balluc) in her article ‘Osulf Thein and others: Double Moneyers’ names on the Late Anglo-Saxon Coinage’ in SiLASC, presenting two possible interpretations for this figure’s byname. One, rather amusing, possibility is that the epithet relates to the OE bealluc or ‘testicle’. Alternatively, the byname may derive from the Celtic balach or ‘boy’. Smart viewed the latter as the more likely, given the Irish origin of the moneyer’s initial name, although that is not to say that Matathan’s contemporaries would have recognised its cosmopolitan origin.

Ca. 400-350 BC.A bronze helmet, a variant of the Negau type, a regional Italian style with a characteristically conical shape. The tall, capped form resolves in a concave neck with a pronounced brim. It once would have been decorated with attachments and feathers, as similar known examples demonstrate. Their distinctive shape represented the ferocity and might of the Etruscan army. Memories of these soldiers lived on for centuries after the Etruscan metalsmiths stopped producing them, as evidenced by an eastern Hungarian Celtic tetradrachm (ca. 2nd century BCE) that depicts a horseman wearing one of these helmets and holding a torc, a symbol of power. Cf. A pilos helmet in Berlin, illustrated in Antikenmuseum Berlin (Berlin, 1988), no. 1 on pp. 80-81.
