Trésor gaulois de Laniscat, Celtic coin collection in Laniscat, France

The excavation site revealed 545 ancient coins, including 58 stateres and 487 quarter stateres, buried within a 200-square-meter area at a depth of 25 centimeters.

The coins were minted between 75 BC and 5 BC by the Osisme tribe, a Celtic group from the Breton peninsula, during the period of Roman invasions.

The coins feature Celtic designs of horses, human figures, and mixed creatures, reflecting the artistic traditions of pre-Roman Gaulish society.

The National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research discovered this collection during preliminary excavations for a road construction project in central Brittany.

The collection represents the largest pre-Roman Gaulish coin hoard ever found, providing evidence of resistance against Roman influence in the region.
