Celtic Gold Stater identification

[stuart900]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with the identification of this Celtic Uniface Gold Stater please?

You'd be best consulting a specialist work - the nearest I can find in Spink is S37, Savernake Forest type (though yours is not exactly like their illustration - I don't know how relevant that is.)

Cheers.....I was thinking S39, not a million miles away  Thanks for looking.

Hi Stuart, just looked in Chris Rudd’s ABC book ( Ancient British Coins) and I believe it’s a Selsey Uniface ( ABC 488) of the Regini and Attrebates. Spink 39.

Did you find it Stuart or was it bought.

Hi Richard, found on a dig near Wantage, Saturday....nice feeling when I first realised it wasn't a button

Well done Stuart, did the gold dance take place

[stuart900]

No....I was more shocked than anything else....then spent 30 minutes checking to see if there were any more!
