Later Iron Age potin coins are divided into two classes. It has been suggested that the classes had different purposes as class I coins were hoarded, but class II appeared not to be. The New Addington class II hoard suggests that there was little difference and that the potins were always intended as a special purpose coinage (not money) circulating in parallel with gold coins. Recent works on the typology and technology of the coins are also discussed.
