Coins, alongside artefacts such as jewellery, figurines, models, tools and weapons, figure prominently in ritual sites assemblages. More often than not, coins from such sites have been studied and published as if they had been found in secular contexts. The coins are treated as statistics, which reveal the chronology of activity on the site or the pattern of coins in local circulation. Very little, if indeed any, attention has been given to the role of coins in respect to their function as votive offerings or as gifts to the gods to pay for favours expected or received. This paper contextualises four coins recovered from the UBSS excavations at Brean down, building upon recent theoretical advances to highlight the plethora of alternative meanings, biographies, and characteristics of coinage deposited at sanctuaries.
