Celtic Horses of Britain Stater Coin

HANDMADE REPRODUCTION

Dating back to the early first century AD, these coins struck under the Celtic king Cunobelin are some of the finest of pre-Roman Britain.
One side features a young, strong and unbridled galloping horse, with branch overhead - a symbol of victory, and bears the name of the king beneath. The other boasts a large, full head of barley, a symbol of the kings' wealth sourced from grain. Providing a good hearty loaf or a thick and refreshing brew, barley was a chief staple in the ancient world on which a merry life depended.
