..It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I would show you these beauties.
First a full Gallo Belgic class C
stater, struck by the
Ambiani in
Gaul listed in Spink's Coins of
England as no. 5, and in Van Arsdell's
Celtic Coinage of
Britain as VA 42 - 48.
Weight of 5.70 grams. Shows the disintegrated
head of
Apollo.
Second a Gallo-Belgic Cd quarter
stater, class 2, and weighing 1.6 grams. This is another imported unit into
Britain and dates to75BC.
Thirdly, my favourite and best find of 2005 although too early for this section, a striped penannular gold
ring money, gold on a bronze core. 19mm x17mm x7mm and weighing 11.9 grams. Dating from 1100 -600 BC.
