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. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -200
