Amarmur Posted October 3, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 3, 2023 Interesting coin with distinct Celtic style. It's around 18mm US dime sized. It appears to have a native male on the obverse and an animal most likely a bull on the reverse. What do you think? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarmur Posted October 8, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 I was recommended on another forum this book ACIP - NumisWiki, The Collaborative Numismatics Project (forumancientcoins.com) as a possible anonymous type. Maybe this is an imitation of an ancient Spanish coin? It looks very cubist and unnatural and there is no lettering to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand Posted October 8, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 8, 2023 It seems like it could be Celtic. Whether it's Spanish or not, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edessa Posted October 8, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2023 I'd agree that it has a Iberian Celtic look. The coins of Iltirta have this motif, however the portrait style it a bit different, as is the reverse. I have attached the relevant page from ACIP (Ancient Coinage of the Iberian Peninsula, Villaronga and Benages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
