Gallo Belgic & Early Uninscribed

Iron Age Gallo Belgic & early uninscribed coins are found all over Britain. Here you will see a selection of Gallo Belgic coins, these were imported to Britain from Gaul before the first coinage was struck in Britain and probably for a few years afterwards as it would have taken quite a while to circulate. The introduction of Britain’s own coinage in around 60-50 BC was in an uninscribed form to start with, only later did rulers realise the potential of inscriptions.
