Shouldn’t that be in a museum instead of private ownership?

I cannot make heads or tails of that coin, wish they had a little drawing to explain what it is? What is the wheel? Where is the name “Esunertos” and I wonder if he was a Druid?

Hence the saying “Ain’t worth a plugged Esunertos...”

The headline made me curious how Latin script made its way onto a Brittonic coin pre-Roman colonization but apparently the name inscribed is Gaulish.
