Description: | Gallo-Belgic quarter stater. Philip De Jersey comments; CCI 05.0303. A quarter stater, this is a Gallo-Belgic import, VA 69-1. Produced probably by the Morini in northern Gaul and imported into Britain in quite significant numbers (at least a couple of hundred now recorded). This is the type which is sometimes described as having three men in a boat on the obverse (here rather worn), and an 'oak tree by a stream' on the reverse. Both of these descriptions are pretty fanciful but on the other hand it is difficult to decide what really is represented. Produced around the time of the Gallic War.
