<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nvb, post: 3442160, member: 99531&quot;]I was extremely taken with this piece from the moment Roma posted their catalog for Auction XXVII; The Hermann Lanz collection of Celtic coins. Needless to say it&#039;s a wonderful feeling to have won it. IMHO, the artistic style and eye appeal of the coin is just off the charts. That, and the fact that it is a plate coin (Lanz 585) from quite a special collection makes this one of my highlights of 2019.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>Celts in Eastern Europe AR Tetradrachm.</b></font><b><font size="5"> Zweigarm Type.</font></b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.romanumismatics.com/catalogue_images/auction/xlarge/16196.1.293_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b>Description</b></font></p><p>Celts in Eastern Europe AR Tetradrachm.
