Title
Iron Age coin
Description
English: Iron Age Silver unit

"Monnaies-a-la-croix" type, c. 200-118 BC, Depeyrot type 220-221

Diameter 17mm thickness 2.1mm, weight 3.02g Obverse: indistinct image of a bust facing left Reverse: Cross with crescents in three of the segments and pellet-in-ring and crescent in fourth. Condition: fine

These coins were produced in the Languedoc region of southern France in the second century BC and are, as such, usually attributed to the Volcae Arecomici (and/or Volcae Tectosages). There are very rare finds in this country and only about 3-4 of these coins found in Britain.

Special thanks to Dr Ian Leins (curator or the Iron Age and Roman coins in the British Museum) for helping with the identification of this coin.
