Celtic coin Trinovantes

Product description

The coin was minted between 9 and 40 AD by Cunobelin, king of the Trinovantes, a Celtic tribe that ruled over southern England. His tribe controlled a large part of the British pewter production and export that was already essential for making pewter and bronze during the Bronze Age. As a result, the Trinovantes were very wealthy, and King Cunobelin was well connected with the Roman Empire. His children were educated in Rome, and they brought with them a great deal of knowledge and innovative ideas.

Nevertheless, this coin is distinctively Celtic. The obverse features grain, referring to the most fundamental basis of food. The reverse depicts a galloping horse. The Celts were well known as excellent riders.

The coin is a replica of original examples. Crafted from leadless pewter, it has been produced using material sourced from the area where the Trinovantes' mines were originally located.
