Ancient British gold stater of the Corieltavi

Wayne Gretton said he unearthed the coin pictured here last month and he asked for a valuation on his find.

This is an Ancient British gold stater. On the obverse is a wreath, cloak and crescent design, which can be seen on many other staters. On the reverse is a disjointed horse facing left with a pellet sun below.

In Ancient British Coins staters of this type are listed under the North East Coast type of the Corieltavi. However, the examples illustrated did not include this exact variety. In the Standard Catalogue the generic type is listed as number 28.

Valuation

The coin would grade close to VF and I can’t see any flaws so to a collector it should be worth around £600.
