Title
Iron Age coin; Gallo Belgic Type D quarter stater
Description
English: An Iron Age coin; an imported Gallo Belgic Type D, geometric gold quarter stater which appears to be of the Boat Tree series of the Morini tribe, dating from about 80 BC - 50 BC (Haselgrove Period II, Phase 4 or 5). At 1.63g it is much heavier than the British type but because there is so little design it's difficult to be sure. The coin is 8.92mm diameter at its widest and 2.4mm thick. Identification kindly provided by Elizabeth Cottam of Ancient British Coins.
