2 Armorican Coins / Monnaies Gauloises
Late Iron Age c.55 B.C.
Gauls, fleeing from the advancing Romans in
Armorica (Brittany) brought their wealth in coins
and buried it in Jersey. The Marquanderie Hoard,
one of several such finds locally, is the largest
discovered numbering more than 11,000 pieces.
