(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 most Celtic coins are abstract in style but more realistic style shows the lordification/personification of deities taken from the Roman and Hellensitic empires which date to between 200 and 70 CE.

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.

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.
(June 15, 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.
