An uninscribed gold stater of 'Gallo-Belgic E' type attributed to the Ambiani of Northern France, dating c. 60-40 BC. Rudd's 'Gallic War Uniface' type. Obverse: plain, unstruck. Reverse: no inscription, sinuous horse right, pellets above in triad, single pellet between leg, 'eye' designs behind pellets and in front of horse's head. ABC 16. Nicely centred reverse, Very Fine. Weight: 6.2g. Discussion: these coins are some of the most common Iron Age gold issues to be found in Britain, largely circulating in the southern regions of the country. It is thought by some scholars that they were struck in such large numbers by the Gallic tribes as a means of paying mercenaries during Caesar's invasion, though this is mostly speculative. Provenance: from the collection of a metal detectorist.
