Unique ID: 86
This coin is a Gallo Belgic D (GB-D) but one which is rare enough not to have its own name, so I’ve given it one. The distinctive feature of this coin is the linked nature of the two open rosettes and the object in the bottom left. The open rosettes beside the tree trunk are actually in linked pairs. The faint outline of the second one on the left can just be seen, and the upper left corner of the second one on the right can still be seen. The thicker parts of the rosettes are where they adjoin. I know of one other example of this type, and it shows the double rosette on the right but not the left. The object on the lower left appears to be two interlinked ringed pellets with a wavy line attached. This is missing on the other coin, but that does show the one that’s missing on this coin. It appears to be a zig-zag line ending in a single ringed pellet.
As for date, I’m assuming this is derived from the GB-D Two/Four Rosette types, and contemporary with the later types that feature the snake like objects. That places this coin in 53/52 BC.
