<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3622245, member: 76194&quot;]Here&#039;s a new coin that&#039;s coming to my collection to help bolster my Celtic numismatics representation. The coin was minted by an Iberian tribe that was antagonistic towards Rome in the 2nd Century BCE. This type of coinage is not that uncommon, but it is iconic and prices reflect that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had my eyes on these for a long while, buy never found the right one that pleased me. This one is not perfect, with a small edge split, but the beard on the man in the obverse is in good shape, the coin has great style, and cabinet toning is a beaut.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Post anything relevant.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]971135[/ATTACH] </b></p><p>Bolskan, Celt/Iberia</p><p>AR denarius</p><p>attractive style, well centered and struck, attractive deep old cabinet toning, small edge split, Bolskan (Osca) mint, weight 3.827g, maximum diameter 17.9mm, die axis 0o, 150 - 100 B.C.; obverse bearded male head right, curly hair, dotted collar, Iberian monogram &quot;Bon&quot; behind; reverse horseman galloping right, spear in right hand, reins in left, Iberian legend &quot;BoLSCaN&quot; above ground line below; Villaronga p. 211, 6; SNG BM 695 ff.; SNG Lorichs 797 ff.; SNG Cop 330; Burgos 1911; SGCV I 28[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
