I been wanting to own a gold ancient for awhile so I had a chance at the Muncie Indiana coin show today. Just a little bit of sticker shock so with price in mind I bought this coin. Gaulic Tribes Gold Stater 65 BC Crude Disjointed Horse Blank I like it and very happy to add it to my collection.
Nice coin! I really like the stylized, almost modernistic style of the horse. I wouldn't view the style as crude, though, but instead stylized in very much the Celtic manner. The coin does have what seem to be die flaws, but that is another matter. Here is my only electrum Celtic stater: Western Celts, 1st century BC, electrum stater, Namnetes, Nantes. Délestré 2187 7.3 grams
Great Celtic Staters! Here is a AV Quarter Stater ND Belgica/ Morini NE Coast off English Channel Region Struck circa 80-60BC
