Good to go. Article newness and length verified. No close paraphrasing detected. Hook length and interest are confirmed. A minor quibble though: I did not see any mention of "coin hoards" in the RS to support the sentence: The vast number of copper stycas which have been found in coin hoards....

Thanks for the review. I've tweaked the wording in the article to better reflect the source. Retroplum (talk) 17:23, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
