The name on the coin was "Esunertos," which can be translated as "mighty as the god Esos,". The arrival says the coin was recently sold for around £24000
Damn the inflation. A penny from Esunertos time is worth £24k now
interesting that it dates to right around the time when Julius Caesar invaded Britain
Marcius Coinus?
