Description: | An Iron Age silver unit of eastern Gaul.Delestree & Tache 3195ffPhilip de Jersey comments:"It's a fairly common type from eastern Gaul, probably from the territory of the Lingones or the Aedui, with the inscription 'Kaletedou' in Greek script on the reverse. The inscription soon becomes blundered and you end up with not much more than KA over the horse and a variety of symbols below. The coinage was produced over a long period, from the late second century BC through into the mid-first century BC, and I would guess that this one is later rather than earlier, so perhaps c. 75 BC. About 10 have been recorded from Britain, mostly from near the south coast." http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=8314
