I HIT IT BIG

As my professor (who is a internationally recognized expert on ancient coinage) said "... it's one of the oldest coins from celtic Britain."

I went to the local coin show today and somehow under a pile of Victorian love tokens I found this coin being sold for only $50! My prof confirmed it was real for me and when I bought it he literally tried to buy it from me! I got a really good haul but this is just ridiculous

The obverse is a horse design, while the reverse is an uncommon Gallic inspired "porcupine" head.

Losing my mind over this >:D

Numisblr, I believe I am hooked. A vendor at the local yearly coin show has always sold a really nice array of Chinese numismatics, and his usual prices went down this past one on a couple pieces, so I decided to buy this beauty plus some other Chinese Empire coins.

The thing is, I'm such a sucker for oddly shaped numismatics, and this Xin Dynasty spade (only $20 btw) sent me down a rabbit hole... I've finally learned to discern the symbols on cash coins and the ties common ones have to certain dynasties & periods. This is ultimately a good development, but now I'm getting even more invested in Asian numismatics when I already struggle with identifying the most basic Islamic & Indian coinage. 😅

The local coin store owner trusted me to identify and advise on price for some of their new coins. I feel genuine power from this. I decided on the fate of those numismatics and was respected for my skill.
