EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact, the Coin from the Henley Hoard, dating back to around 50 BC. Crafted during the Iron Age in Britain, this exquisite gold coin measures 1.8 cm in diameter and is currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum of the University of Oxford in the UK. The coin's origin can be traced to the Atrebates mint and was discovered as part of a hoard in Henley-on-Thames. Weighing an impressive 5.77 grams, it bears witness to a bygone era when classical treasures held great significance. The intricate design on this coin depicts a stylized chariot pulled by horses, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The relief work brings these animals to life, capturing their strength and grace with every stroke. As we admire this piece of history frozen in time through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back thousands of years into an era where coins were not only symbols of wealth but also representations of cultural identity. Let us marvel at this precious relic that offers us glimpses into ancient civilizations - a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression that has stood the test of time.
