An assortment of collectibles comprising a mid-20th-century English confectionery tin and three ancient Roman Imperial bronze coins. The circular lithographed tin was manufactured by The Daintee Chocolate Confectionery Co. (Blackpool) Ltd. in Marton, Blackpool, England. The lid features a colourful illustration of a young blonde girl in a blue dress seated and reading a book, accompanied by a Golly figure seated on the floor beside her. The base of the tin carries the brand name Daintee and full manufacturing details. The collection of copper-alloy coins includes examples from the Roman Imperial period, likely sestertii or asses. One coin is identified as belonging to Emperor Nerva (reigned 96-98 AD), featuring a laureate bust and the legend IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P II COS III P P. A second coin is attributed to Emperor Claudius (reigned 41-54 AD) with the partial legend TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP P P. The third coin depicts Emperor Trajan (reigned 98-117 AD) with the legend IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN.
