This is a Chute type Celtic gold stater. This is one of the most beautiful coins you could ever hope to find in this hobby. Each one is a unique hand crafted piece of our wonderful history.
This is a Celtic coin, a fairly scarce one too. It's a silver unit of Cunobelin,
listed in Van Arsdell's 'Celtic Coinage of Britain' as VA 2059, and in Spink's
'Coins of England' as no. 314. The obverse has a bust facing right with the
letters TASC behind the head, and IIOVANII in front, representing the name
of Cunobelin's father, Tasciovanus. On the reverse there is a seated figure
playing a lyre, with CVNOBE in front for Cunobelin. Probably dates from 25
- 30 A.D.
