[QUOTE="Nvb, post: 3357273, member: 99531"]As some of you may have noticed I like my celtic coins, with a nice little collection of Gallic staters. Here is my first Tetradrachm from the Danubian region, a not overtly ridiculous but distinctly celtic imitation of the coinage of Philip II of Macedon. It wont be my last as I'm already eyeing up a couple at auctions to come =) I really love the way the nose and mouth are done - just a couple of swirls and artfully placed dots. These people didnt give a hoot about realism in their art and it sure keeps things interesting [IMG]https://img.ma-shops.com/cdma/pic/combined650923.jpg[/IMG] Material: Silver Weight: 12.47 g Diameter: 24.00 mm Coin, Danubian Celts, Tetradrachm, 2nd - 1st Century BC, Rare, Laureate head of Zeus right,Rider in plumed helmet on dotted ground line left,Anepigrah,greek letters Type "Zickzackgruppe" Av. Laureate head of Zeus right / Rv. ΠΛΛΛΛ Horseman left, circle above, ΠO ’monogram’ and vertical line to left, star between the front legs of the horse, three lines below. Ref.: cf. Lanz 736 (Zickzackgruppe).[/QUOTE]
