This print showcases a collection of Gaulish coins dating back to the period between 750-0 BC. Crafted from both gold and silver, these ancient currencies offer a glimpse into the rich history of Gaul, an area that encompassed modern-day France and parts of surrounding countries. The intricate designs on these coins are truly remarkable. One particular coin features the majestic head of Vercingetorix, a prominent figure who met his demise in 46 BC. This depiction serves as a powerful reminder of the region's tumultuous past and its connection to significant historical events. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to an era where currency took physical form through beautifully crafted pieces like these Gaulish coins. The inclusion of horses on some of the coins adds another layer of symbolism, representing not only transportation but also strength and power.

It reminds us that even centuries ago, artistry played a vital role in everyday life.
