Re: Is that a Celtic coin?

Re: Is that a Celtic coin?
The obverse favours BIII, I can't work the reverse out though?

Re: Is that a Celtic coin?

Re: Is that a Celtic coin?
I should know witch one is the obverse, but I actually don't. I don't know if what I see is a portrait or actually not.

It's a saxon sceat and here are two nicer pictures
This coin is now with the FLO, I hope she will tell me more about it.
I didn't found any real matching online, I was wondering if you have ever seen anything like this. I know that it's very worn and it could match with many sanxons. I am not even quite sure if it's silver or copper alloy.

As you said he sent me the answer (and even recorded it on EMC database) in minutes.
Here is the answer
This is a coin of Series G (Type 3a). Here is a link the EMC/SCBI website, where you can see a large number of coins of this type by selecting 'Series G (Type 3a)' under 'Type': https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/advanced_search.

Re: Saxon Sceat Series G type 3a
The reverse slightly resembles G3 but, looks more like a blundered copy.

Re: Saxon Sceat Series G type 3a
I can agree with all of you, I was just reporting what I have been told by the museum curator.
Re: Saxon Sceat Series G type 3a
Now there is an official classification for this here is the link. I am not competent to judge if that is correct or not.
