Iron Age coins in Scotland

Abstract

A Corieltauvian plated stater recently discovered at Galadean, Borders, is described and the few other IA coin finds from Scotland are summarized. Attempts are made to explain why the people of northern Britain did not adopt coinage, in terms of relationships between the area and the coin-using south in the late pre-Roman IA. There is an `Appendix: Iron Age coins from northern England' (522--3).
