36 in the Celtic Coin Index.
8 in the Portable Antiquities Scheme database.
4 in the British Museum (5 others are Classic A Bow Stem).
17 in Sills.
The above counts include duplicates. Classic A Bow Stem (Sills 587, Sills 588), Classic A Scroll Stem (ABC 2822), Classic A Arc Stem (Sills 590) and Classic A Crescent Triad (ABC 2825) are easily confused. Classic A Bow Stem and Classic A Arc Stem are usually attributed to ABC 2822, such as in the Celtic Coin Index.
Chris Rudd (ABC) ‘Classic’.
