For your consideration, a Celtic Iberian coin of Carisa, minted in the 1st century BC and measuring 1.48g and 18mm.  The obverse has a male bust left.  The reverse features a horseman with large circular shield and lance galloping left.   Very good detail for the type, which is quite rare to begin with. Sometime before 500 B.C., Celtic tribes began reaching what is now Ireland and Britain. Anthropologists and geneticists believe that waves of different Celtic tribes migrated to Ireland and Britain over long periods of time. While many tribes came from the European mainland, a large number also migrated from the Iberian Peninsula.
