Æ 22mm5.1gm    "Kugelwange" (Ball cheek) type

Con/ After appropriate cleaning, Good Very Fine; bold struck to either side; glossy dark green patina beneath earthen fill.

Seller's Note/ Unlike the faces on most Celtic silver issues, the faces on bronze coins are barely recognizable. On our issue, just below the laurel wreath to the far right, is a very clear eyebrow, eye and nose. Images on Celtic coins are always delightful and this one is a real gem.
