<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2873851, member: 42773&quot;]I acquired this Celtic stater at a show in Harrisburg yesterday. Curious little thing - dated to the 1st century BC but still imitating the Macedonian types of the 4th century? I find that odd. Why wouldn&#039;t Celts in this period be imitating Roman types and denominations? Also, the dealer (who is an avid collector of the coins of Britain), informed me that this type is considered the first coinage of Britain. Can anyone corroborate that factoid? Armorica was northwest Gaul, but evidently the tribes of the region migrated to the western coast of Britain as well. Where would the coin have been minted?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]687533[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I found a book that appears to answer my questions so I bought it for a mere&nbsp; $1,056.85, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Coinage-Iron-Armorica-Studies-Celtic/dp/0947816399" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Coinage-Iron-Armorica-Studies-Celtic/dp/0947816399" rel="nofollow">see here</a>. Just kidding, I bought the one that was discounted by 96% at $41.98. I&#039;m sure it&#039;s full of good stuff but a thousand bucks seems a bit steep.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, if anyone knows more about this coin that I do, which isn&#039;t much, please chime in and educate me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
