Yeah...looks like a celtic imitation of Hercules standing with his club, but the bust looks roman. Looks like one for the guys at the British Museum to work out. Costed £2.75.

Hey I would look at the coins of Kajula Kadphises and Hermaios. These looks very much like late Yue-chi, or early Kushan coins. It very well could be Celtic but the early Kushan nomads used the same obverse and reverse motifs.
