    Description

    Greenish patina, great condition, 40mm, 9.18 grams. SKU hv8098-wc13
    Very attractive exceptionally large piece. Huge rings are relatively scarce, rings that are HUGE, such as this one, are quite rare and hard to find!

    Before the introduction of struck coinage in Celtic lands, Celtic ring money (gold, silver and bronze rings), Celtic arrowhead and bell money were used as currency in Celtic lands. Sometimes these rings took a pretty elaborate shape (such as "wheel money" in Gaul, star-shaped rings, interlinked rings etc.) and are very interesting collectible items, that can also be used as wonderful pendants or finger rings.
