Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 08:50 am I think it might be a replica of an ancient coin, since there is no writing on it. Sap could be able to give you more information. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 10:07 am The style of this is Celtic, maybe Iceni. You can see a very stylised horse on the reverse, I don't know enough about these to tell you what is on the obverse or to say if its real or reproduction, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 8:03 pm It is indeed Celtic Britain. The coin appears to be a "reduced weight type" debased-gold stater of the Corieltavi. UKDFD match. It looks genuine enough to me; my only concern with it is the whole "debased gold" thing; your coin looks more coppery or silvery than gold, but I really don't have enough experience in the series either, to know how "un-gold-like" these coins can look. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
