[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 4953754, member: 91461"]I am really starting to get some fun unique Celtic coins and have just been to lazy to put together a full on thread. So, here is one that I really got geeked out about when it showed up looking like this, black and beautiful in hand: [ATTACH=full]1190846[/ATTACH] Celtic GAUL, Northeast. Leuci. Circa 100-50 BC. Potin Unit (16.5mm, 4.1 g, 3h). Stylized head left / Stylized boar left; two semicircles below. Depeyrot, NC VII, 139; D&T 225. Dark green-brown surfaces. VF. Pretty fun, rare and off the beaten path group of celts named Leuci "The bright ones", primarily known for being mentioned in Caesar's commentaries as "people supplying wheat to the Roman army in 58 BC" Any corrections on my identification or more information on the tribe would be appreciated:singing:[/QUOTE]
