Watch List notes:

A Large Torque Form Celtic Gold Money Ring. ; A Large Torque Form Celtic Gold Money Ring; Late Bronze Age, 1500 to 1200 BC, 15.96g. At nearly half an ounce of gold, this is an unusually large example of Celtic ring money, which tends to be only a few grams in weight. It likely comes from the Continental European Celtic cultures - possibly the Hallstatt culture of Austria, northern Italy and the Danube basin. Modeled like a miniature torque, this gold piece is U-shaped with each terminus flared out and flattened. Some suggest Celtic ring money originally derives from jewelry, and this present example seems to confirm this view..
