This Stunning Gallo Belgic Ambiani E Gold Stater 50BC Recovered By Lisa Jones @norfolk_girl_detects using XP Deus 1 - Hot Program 💥 Plain obverse / Sinuous horse right, pellet below, other ornaments around. A wonderful example of this popular issue, bold, central strike showing good detail. It is commonly thought that it was these uniface staters which were used to pay the Gallic armies to fight Julius Caesar. The Gallo-Belgic C coins ended at the start of the Gallic Wars when Caesar attacked Gaul. They were replaced with Gallo-Belgic E (58-50 BC) which is possibly the largest series ever minted by the Celts. At the time of writing (2019) there are 1,019 known reverse dies, and over 2,100 known coins, leading to an estimate of 2,314 reverse dies (technically, somewhere between 1,778 and 3,318 dies, with 95% confidence). Assuming that one die could make 1,000 coins, total production would have been around 2.3 million coins. The early staters die link to Gallo-Belgic Ca, so are assigned to the Ambiani, but they were almost certainly minted, or at least financed, by the coalition of tribes at war with Caesar. It would take around 8,330Kg of gold to mint Gallo-Belgic E and it was unlikely that the Ambiani could manage this on their own, even if they recalled all of the Gallo-Belgic Ca coins and melted down their treasure reserves. The uniface design, whereby the obverse is blank, also suggests they were minted by a coalition of tribes. #treasurehunting #treasure #metaldetecting #metaldetectingfinds #history #metaldetector #treasurehunter #regton #treasurehunt #relics #coins #sondeln #dirtfishing #detecting #xpdeus #relichunting #coin #vintage #coinhunting #hobby #silver #detectorist #treasures #metaldetectinguk #metaldetectors #detectorsxp #metalldetektor #detection #xpdeusmetaldetecting @metaldetecting_diaries #RegtonFinds https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxUTM7qYzV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
