SC 82. Celtic imitation coins are replicas or adaptations of ancient coins that were produced by Celtic tribes during the late Iron Age and early Roman era. These imitations were crafted by various Celtic groups inhabiting regions of Europe, such as Gaul, Britain, and parts of Central Europe, from around the 2nd century BC to the 1st century BC. Celtic imitations often mimicked the design elements of Greek and Roman coins, utilizing similar imagery, symbols, and inscriptions. However, due to the Celtic artisans' distinct artistic style, these imitations often displayed a unique and stylized interpretation of the original motifs. The reasons for producing these imitations varied and could include economic transactions, trade, or cultural influences. Starting price: 1 EUR |  |
