The Gauls were up to something with those gorgeous abstract designs, so much variety of great types

[@atomicwoodpecker0123]

I just wanted to say the redrawn graphics of the designs of the coins is incredibly useful for trying to see what the coin is supposed to look like. A small detail you add to your video, but it helps so much with properly "visualizing" the coin!

[@rolandnyc4938]

It always amazes me the amount of research it must take to bring us back in time with videos like this. Ty.

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

It does indeed require a fair amount of time, not gonna lie. Im glad you people appreciate it :)

[@defandpray]

[@numiscanal8018]

I just love collecting gallic and celtic coinage. I have quite a collection of sceattas, very interesting little coins too

[@antonio4782]

Excelente video Leo,unas piezas preciosas y muy interesantes,un fuerte abrazo.

[@ConiferElements]

A wonderful video on Gallic coins with many beautiful examples. Thanks for posting!

[@wollin20]

I am French and live in Rome, and although I have a quite good collection of Ancient Roman imperial coins and excellent classical Greek collection (both short in quantity but excellent in quality), I have never considered to really start a Gaulic coin collection. Those coins are for me not really eye appealing, except for the most prestigious ones (I'd certainly like to buy some of them, but they are not a priority), and so little is understood about the tribes who issued them. So they still belong to extremely interesting archeological artefacts (the reason why I might buy some of them), but not really to true pieces of art.

[@christopherevans2445]

Great video Leo! I really like the reverse of the 1/4 gold stater. Very Cool.

[@ricois3]

Nice coincidence, I was looking at a French auction site yesterday and they had a lot of gaulish coins. Very interesting

Those were the Salvador Dalis and Pablo Picassos of mint masters 2200 years ago

The best of the best channels for numismatics

[@darbysdownhomedetecting]

Very interesting video 😀 thanks for sharing!

[@Numischannel]

Great intro Leo! But remember that the Celts were all over Europe, not just Western Europe but also Eastern Europe, from Poland and Bulgaria (especially in the Danube basin), and the Gauls even occupied part of Anatoria (the region later known precisely, as Galatia).

[@aeternitasromae]

Very informative video, the castor & pollox imitation cavalryman is beautiful

[@nazarnovitsky9868]

Thanks for the new video ! 😊

[@ivdeadelendaest]

I hate how so many Celtic coins are just written off as "barbarous imitations". These coins are such an interesting window into a long lost cultures whose legacy lives on in these coins.

[@user-wx3lc2sn6i]

Great thanks Leo. Potin coins are fascinating 👍

[@donklaser217]

Interesting topic!

[@zaum2002]

I would like to learn how the die were made. What was the material ? Iron only or something like steel ? What tools did they use to carve the die ?

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

Ive made a video on coin manufacturing already, you should look up my channel page

[@cougar2013]

I love this channel, but do we need to pander to the French? 😂 Strabo didn’t say they were in caves eating rocks. Anyway, thanks for being the rabbit that got me to peek down the numismatic hole!

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

Im only giving them the air time because they did a wonderful job at the Lugdunum mint, otherwise, no way! 😂

[@BopWalk]

The Gauls weren't barbarians, that honor goes to the Germans and Britans 😂😂😂

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Numischannel]

Even Caesar, who defeated and subjected them, kind of thought the same as you... he created a lot of Gaulish senators... conservative Romans wondered if those new senators would wear trousers in the Senate 😅

[@numiscanal8018]

Exactly 😊😊😊

[@thesecondsilvereich7828]

The gauls and celtic are the same

[@BopWalk]

@@thesecondsilvereich7828 Gauls (while they were Celtic people) weren't the same as the Celtic tribes in Britain at the time.
