Quarter Gold Stater of Tasciovanus BC

[oldsoapy]

Found early on this week on a fairly short hunt (cut short by rain) but just before the downpour l was lucky enough to find this very small Gold coin. only about 11mm diameter, and 1.4 grams.
my 1st quarter for 3 years. lucky it was only about 3 inches deep. and it was like new when found
even if its over 2000 years old.

Yep, can't really get much better than that.
A 2,000 year old gold coin is the kind of thing Indiana Jones could be expected to go looking for.
People go to museums to see this type of coin! To own one is a real privilege!

Truly a great save !!
The letters within the rectangle are TASCI, short for Tasciovanos (as the IP mentions) who was a Celtic King between 25 BC and 10 AD.
