You have the coolest coins.

 

Another nice ancient gold! Thanks for sharing.

 

John, Great score ! This Celtic coin looks like abstraction on steroids . What are the dimensions of the coin ? My Celtic stater, pictured below, is slightly more recognizable than your coin.

Celtic, Atrebates & Regni, Commius. Circa 50-25 BC. AV Stater: 5.42 gm, 17 mm, 7 h. Southern mint in Britain. Obverse: Devolved head of Apollo facing right, with two "hidden face" motifs. Reverse: Celtic horse facing right, with remains of charioteer's arm above, chariot wheel below. ABC 1022, Van Arsdell 350-1. NGC AU, Strike 5/5, Surface 4/5. Ex Chris Rudd Sept. 2014 & Sept. 2006.

 

As usual, no disappointment @panzerman! Would love to see your collection!

 

Lovely coin. Horse easier to see if turned 180 degrees. I'd love one like this, maybe one day

 

Great coin, congrats

Very compelling and attractive.

 

Thanks everyone for kind comments! My last "day off" was on April 30 due to a rainout. My only "free time" for coins is after I get home from work/ finish supper (10:30-11:00)

Almost forgot....
5.86g. 18mm.

 

My only Celtic stater, a Norfolk wolf of the Iceni.

 

Your Wolf is standing right/ also coin has high gold content/ beautifull
I got mine from Chris Rudd Auction/ my Wolf is standing left/ low gold content.

 

Mine came from Joe Linzalone of Wolfshead Gallery. I think he has a special affection for these coins. He had several when I bought this one from him at the Bay State coin show in 2019.
