I joined
Forum Ancient Coins this year and have spent some time uploading coins into galleries and catching up on a decade or more of discussion boards. Yesterday I finally got myself a book on
Celtic coinage (Van Arsdell's impressive
Celtic Coinage of Britain), so pulled out my
Celtic coins, and was pleased to discover this board. I saw several interesting threads, and now can understand the reference to "Kugelwange"
types.
I recently finished re-cataloging, re-photographing, and uploading my Macedonian coins, and amid all that I was surprised to find that my
Philip II tetradrachm was actually a
Celtic imitation. Live and learn!
Here is my
Celtic gallery. It's small in size and scope, with just a handful of coins from each of the British isles and areas near the Danube. The "
ring money" deserve quote marks, at best. I'm now dubious about their status as a medium of exchange and store of value; perhaps we'll just view them as artifacts.
