Gold Coin of the Parisii in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2010
Two Gold Coins of the Parisii
Celtic
Made 200-100 BC in the region of Paris
Accession # 17.191.120-.121
The Celts probably began striking coins in the 200s BC after receiving gold and silver pieces from Hellenistic kings who employed Celtic warriors as mercenaries. The coins here display motifs derived from Hellenistic coins- a head one one side and a charioteer and horse on the reverse- but their animated design conveys a Celtic aesthetic.
