Celts, Danube Region, Imitative of Thasos, Thrace, c. 120 - 10 B.C.
|Celtic| |&| |Tribal|, |Celts,| |Danube| |Region,| |Imitative| |of| |Thasos,| |Thrace,| |c.| |120| |-| |10| |B.C.|, This type was first struck by Thasos, c. 168 - 148 B.C. Roman authorities struck imitatives, c. 148 - 80 B.C., mainly in Macedonia. Tribal groups (mostly Celtic) struck imitatives from about 120 to possibly as late as 10 B.C.

This is the only specimen known to Forum with a star or X inner left. Most Roman imitatives have M or a monogram there. Based on the style, and blundered inscription, we believe this coin is a Celtic issue.
