Guest patricia silver-warner Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Help I am a primary school teacher trying to make sense of Celtic coin values and names. Are 1/4 slaters worth a 1/4 of a slater? And are their any other names of Celt coins Quote
Chris Perkins Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 I don't know much about Celtic coins, but I do know that they are 'Stater' not 'Slater' and the Quarter Stater was indeed a quarter of a Stater, the Full Stater also is thought to have existed. There is also Reference to a 'Unit' and a 'Quarter Unit'.The thing is, no one actually knows what the Celtic people called their coins because there is no written evidence. The names Stater and Unit were simply guessed at by academics based on what was used in other parts of Europe.So for all we know they called have been called 'Cows' and 'Quarter Cows'! Quote
