Thank you!

To be fair, at least his dress code isn't camo for a change.

Wonderful find- congratulations!

Very envious as we don't have Celtic coins in my part of the country, so definitely on my wish list when I attend weekend digs in other areas.

Lovely condition [81/]

30 minutes into this morning's detecting I found this little silver coin. It was definitely one those "it can't be, can it?" moments so I would love to get confirmation whether it is Celtic and any other further info from the resident experts here. The permission is in what would have been Regni territory.

There is some stubborn, solid build up on left hand the side of the coin with the leaf/antler-like motifs (bottom photo). Plenty of chalk and flint in the soil here so wondering if it is related to that.

Thank you.
That's a stunning coin, well done finding that 👍
