Ex Randy Haviland Collection. Ex Harlan J. Berk 171, 27 October 2010, lot 2.

One of the rare examples of the small Gaulish group of the Celtic coinage of Britannia. The metal (a reddish gold alloy), the type, and the fabric are clearly related to the coinage of Britain, and give food for thought about early trade connections to the Continent.
