<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2760579, member: 74834&quot;]I have one like that, too. It imitates the tetradrachms of Philip II of Macedon that were in use as general trade coins. Your coin still vaguely shows the head of Heracles on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some of my favorites:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]634398[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A potin stater of the Suessiones, a French tribe that gave its name to the city of Soissons.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]634399[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Grotesque head and grotesque milliped on this bronze coin of the Bellovaci (who lived in the Vallée de l’Oise). It&#039;s called &#039;avec la lion&#039;, proving the power of fantasy of the Celts.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]634401[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And this is a low-gold coin of the Pictones (that gave their name to Poitiers), a strange orange-coppery coin that is heavy in hand (20 mm, 6.23 gr).</p><p>On the obverse the head of the god Ogimus, on the reverse a rider on a human-faced horse. Under it, a hand reaches up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
