Really out of my collecting interests, but I saw this and had to have it, why?
Because it is cute. I am sure the figure on here is a priest or something, but looks like one of the little Keebler elfs.
Gallia Belgica (from the Seine to the Rhine), the Remi. Cast Potin (4.13 gm, 12h, 21mm), ca. 100-60 BC. Obv.: Male figure (druid?) with hair in a long plait, running right, holding spear and torc. Rev.: Wolf (?), right, gnawing on prey; above, fibula. BMC 501 ff. DLT 8124. DT 155. Scheers 191. This is a cute coin in my opinion. One aspect of Celtic coins that is quite fascinating is their stylised imagery. This mysterious piece is a popular one because of the man on the obverse of the piece and his resemblance to a Gnome.
The Celts resided in much of Europe, from the British Isles to the mouth of the Danube River in what is now Romania. Their vibrant culture, celebrated in myth and legend, remains a bit of an enigma to this day. For coin designs they often "borrowed" designs from nearby Greek or Roman states coins, but their own designs were often stylised and quite attractive.
