A group of Ancient British (Iron Age / Celtic) coins have been uploaded to our website today, a fine selection of gold staters, quarter staters and silver units dating to the 1st Century BC/AD. Including a couple of Gallic War staters, struck by the Ambiani tribe in Gaul these were amongst the first gold coins to be used in Britain. Containing roughly 97% pure gold these are a buttery yellow colour and very tactile in hand. Following these, Britain’s tribes exploded in to a wide variety of types and designs, take for example the Iceni tribe in modern day Norfolk/Suffolk, they adopted the wolf as their symbol and boldly placed him on their highest value denomination, the gold stater. Coins from the Durotriges in south western Britain are full of mystery and intrigue, the ‘Duro Boat’ series showcases this with a mix of extraordinary symbols open to interpretation.
