Curator's comments: cf Hobbs 1996 type 1902 but CAM / AGR; The only bronze coin type currently known to have been issued for AGR. The coin, with a Romanised head, right on the obverse and butting bull, left on the reverse, is similar to a unit issued by Cunobelin (ABC 2948) but with AGR in place of CVN in the reverse exergue. The obverse CVNO on that coin has been replaced by CVN CAM.
