Gold, 3.29 grams, 15.76 mm. Circa 3rd-2nd century BC. A crude copy of a gold stater of Philip II of Macedon probably copied from an early European copy. Obverse: Celticized head of Phillip of Macedon right. Obverse: charioteer in biga right, front horse with five/six legs, n's in exergue, annulet to right. At some point in the third century BC, the Celtic peoples of Continental Europe (from the Balkans through Germany and Switzerland to France and Belgium) began to manufacture copies of Greek gold and silver coins. This is a superb example of one of the first coins ever made in Europe. Very fine and better struck in gorgeous golden yellow gold. Provenance: found near Dartford, Kent in 2008.
