Gallo Belgic & Early Uninscribed

Iron Age Gallo Belgic & early uninscribed coins are found all over Britain. These coins were made in Gaul then imported during the 2nd-1st Century BC, before coin manufacture was established in Britain. Unsurprisingly, the introduction of Britain’s own coinage in around 60-50 BC was closely based on these Gallic prototypes in an uninscribed form to start with, only later did rulers realise the potential of inscriptions.
