Full Description
A worn 'second brass' of Agrippa is said to have been found in Dornoch, though Macdonald (1934), to whom it was shown in 1931, considered that the occurrence so far north of so early a coin (63-12 BC) suggested a modern importation. Its present whereabouts are unknown.
G Macdonald 1934; A T Simpson and S Stevenson 1982.
