Just received a packet from Belgium and this was among my winnings. This Stater is from the Celtic Corisolites, who were active in modern-day Brittany in the late BC timeframe. @ancientnoob goes into great detail on the history of this tribe here: http://goccf.com/t/134756.

Mine came attributed as DT 2332 and Scheers, Dan, 235. I see an old identification number "6" in ink between the curls of hair, but haven't been able to chase back the provenance back to a specific museum or private collection.

Coin pictured shows up the celtic style of artwork quite nicely.

Interesting about the "6". Normally would detract from the value a bit, but if you can establish good provenance via the "6", it may even add some value.
Let's hope you can track it down.


I love Amorican music and Amorican Pie - Apologies to Don McLean.

Thx everyone! The abstract portrait is very nice on this one, but the man-headed horse is a bit off flan. The design element between the horse's legs is a lyre.
