(June 15, 2025) gold Iron Age stater. This attests to the wealth of the area due to tin mining in Cornwall.
The image on the right is of the Druid dark new moon and eye pupil god Su. He is the the source of all emotion/emotion powers via the astrological night sky. This was found in southern England.
The text style is Aegean Island which would normally date it to between 500 to 400 BCE in the Mediterranean although this style seems to have been preserved longer in the north. Because this has a realistic style showing the lordification/personification of deities taken from the Roman and Hellensitic empires this coin dates to between 200 BCE and 50 CE.

The text style is Aegean Island which would normally date it to between 500 to 400 BCE in the Mediterranean although this style seems to have been preserved longer in the north. This coin does not show the lordification/personification influences of the Hellenstic empire and it does not yet shows the abstraction phase of celtic coins so it must date to between 400 and 500 BCE.
This coin was discovered by a metal detectorist on Saturday 15th April 2023 in southern Britain (exact location not provided). Its dimensions are: Thickness: 3.2 mm, Weight: 5.26 g, Diameter: 17.26 mm.
Left image is an ash tree which is associated with the magical motion powers. Consequently, the ash tree is unlike the life power trees of oak, thorn, and yew tree with their broad crowns which correspond to the life network (Thorn and yew also have red berries). Together with the oak and thorn, the ash tree was part of a magical trilogy in fairy lore. Ash seedpods may be used in divination, and the wood has the power to ward off fairies, especially on the Isle of Man. In Gaelic Scotland children were given the astringent sap of the tree as a medicine and as a protection against witch-craft.
The right image is a winged horseman.
(Med Text 117) This wheat-horse coin is emphasizing the powers of crescent moon goddess Ayu who guides the life powers (fertility-fluids) through the life network. Notice the crescent moons on the wheat stalk and above the horse which represents these motion powers.
(Med Text 119) This wheat-horse coin is emphasizing the activity powers of astrology-magic in causing a drought. Notice the letter "T" formed on the wheat stalk meaning "astrology-magic" and the full new moon above the horse. This coin is starting to show a little abstraction indicating it came shortly after the cresent moon version.
(Med Text 120) This coin is even more abstract. The side formally showing the wheat now shows the life network with cresent moons embeded in that network. The motion powers of the dark new moon are scattered about in-between the life-network links but with some acting as the anchor to constellations (rectangles with starry borders). Above the horse is the Pleiades star cluster and a linear star constellation similar to the life network side.

One side of this coin shows a wheat stalk which according to the text is representing nourishements. The other side shows a crescent moon representing the nourishing Druid goddess Ayu and a galloping horse representing activity of the emotion/motion powers.
The second line on this coin was left the same as what is on the other coin despite both images representing a motion power.
Considerations are focused emotions of emotion magic. When applied influence the astrological powers of fate such rituals are called astrology-magic.
(June 16, 2025) One side of this coin is just text stating the life powers have been cursed by the powers of fate from the night sky. The other side shows those powers above the horse with the circle representing the dark new moon god Su and the dots representing the Pleiades. The horse itself represents the activity of the emotion/motion powers.
The harbor is the rain producing sky shell. This coin is stating that using astrology magic can overcome the fate mandated by the dark new moon god Su and the stars.
