Those Celtic coins are awesome ...

Ummm, I once had this one (okay sure, maybe it's not quite as nice as that sweet magazine-example, but I absolutely loved this cool coin)

FRANCE. CELTIC TRIBES OF GAUL.
CORIOSOLITE CLASS IIB BILLON STATER
Date: 80-50 BC
Diameter: 20.69 mm
Weight: 6.13 grams
Obverse: Stylized Celtic head right
Reverse: Celticized rider on horseback right, below, boar right
Reference: De LaTour 6598
Other: From an old French collection .... super fricken cool, right?

=> they're almost like a Picasso

I would say, no, Picasso is like them.  The coins are first, Picasso is later.
