I've recently bought these two Durotriges silver staters. I really liked the bold strike, though the last one is prettier than the first one in my opinion. Durotriges celts Denomination: AR stater , minted: Durotriges region (current England, near Dorset); 65 BC - 45 AD Obv: Head of Apollo right, devolved to wreath and crescents Rev: Disjointed horse left; pellets above, pellet in lozenge above tail, zigzag and pellet pattern between two parallel exergue lines Weight: 3.85g; Ø:1.8cm Catalogue: Van Arsdell 1235-1, ABC 2157, SCBC 365, Cranborne Chase (Durotrigan E) type Provenance: Ex private collection; acq.: 09-2019 Durotriges celts Denomination: AR stater , minted: Durotriges region (current England, near Dorset); 65 BC - 45 AD Obv: Head of Apollo right, devolved to wreath and crescents Rev: Disjointed horse left; pellets above, pellet in lozenge above tail, zigzag and pellet pattern between two parallel exergue lines Weight: 4.05g; Ø:1.8cm Catalogue: Van Arsdell 1235-1, ABC 2157, SCBC 365, Cranborne Chase (Durotrigan E) type Provenance: Ex private collection ; acq.: 09-2019 Show your pretty Celtic coins!
Cool coins. Another reminder I need to pay more attention to Celtic coins. Yours mine from northern Gaul...the Armoricans to be precise
Nice Celtic coins, @Roerbakmix ! I, too, need to focus more in this area. Celts are my heritage. Celtic Britain Iceni Boudicca 61 CE 1.03g Celt Hd r Celtic horse galloping Scarce
@Sallent, that Armorican is excellent. It's hard to find a nice centered coin with all the details showing. Here is a Carnute coin (they lived near Chartres and Orléans). AE Carnutes, 1st century BC. Obverse: head to the right with decorative hair. Reverse: a large and a small bird (eagles) with outspread wings are attacking a serpent. Pentagram left, cross or sun in the middle. 17 mm, 2.56 gr. La Tour 6088.
Interesting coins above. Celtic coins are way too cool and abstract to exclude them from any collection of ancient coins (in my opinion). My other Celts: Obverse: Triskelion with dots at end of spirals. Wreath around, with encircled dots at two ends. Reverse: Three encircled circles, pyramidal zig-zag line around. Dotted circles below. Weight: 5.6 g, diameter 17mm. Possible type (not sure): Schörghuber 556 Castelin 1097 Flesche 402 Provenance: Found near Geldermalsen, the Netherlands. Ex private collection 09-2019.

Got a couple of potins but recently added this as a special treat to me. Not looking to repeat anytime soon but would like a nice silver sometime. Photo copyright Chris Rudd SE England, Catuvellauni Coin: AV Stater Wt./Size/Axis: 5.66g / 18mm /
