One very poor one, from 2nd century BC, Celtic Spain. Reverse has bull with raptor de europa over the bull.

 

Interesting coin there Ripley. Do you have an attribution? I'd like to look it up.

I thought so. I have several Castulo coins (3-4). Interesting Celtic coins

Q

 

Great coins, Cucumbor => I absolutely love your Syracuse Agathokles (I have a version as well ... both have great and colorful patinas, but I think that yours has a bit more eye-appeal than mine)

again => great lookin' coins my coin-brother!!

:high5:

 

And I love the Augustus Denarius! Great coins Cuc!

 

I have a bull or two which i have already posted so i'll give you one that you haven't seen.. there have been a lot of beef, very nice coins, but just remember, the bulls are only good for two things, breeding and hamburger...
