Description: | Iron Age bronze unit or potin, possibly from southern or central Gaul. It was apparently struck on a cast flan, but of very dark and shiny metal, more like a potin than a bronze unit. There is some corrosion, again of the type more usually seen on potins. There is a partly depressed flan, perhaps a casting flaw, on the reverse. It is a very early copy of a Massalia bronze, dating from the early to mid 2nd century BC. It has a diameter of 16.3 - 17.3 mm, is 17.7 mm across inclding the sprue, and weighs 4 grams. It is of the same type as Celtic Coin Index 950046 and 952724. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
