Mule kicks off May auction
High prices for Celtic coins were achieved in Chris Rudd’s May 19, 2024, sale.
Some strong prices for Celtic coins were achieved in Chris Rudd’s 19 May sale. An imported coin of the Ambiani tribe known as a Gallo-Belgic Broad Flan gold stater bore a right-facing head and left-facing horse, a unique, possibly experimental type known as a Mule, fetched £3800.
A Nipples type cast potin unit of the Cantiaci tribe, which came from the Ian Richards, E J Williams, and Adrian Nicholl collections and originally bought from Chris Rudd in 1998, sold for £460.
An excessively rare Commios E-Type gold stater of the Southern Region, which came from the Royal Berkshire collection and was purchased from B Knight in 1982, achieved £2200, and a near extremely fine Odin’s Eye 1 silver unit of the Iceni unit, which came from the fabulous John Follows collection, sold for £1100.
“Some great results showing once again that coins with provenance often command top prices” says Elizabeth Cottam of Chris Rudd. The next Chris Rudd all-Celtic sale is on Sunday, 14 July 2024.
