Celtic Bronze Necklace featuring a Celtiberian as from Sekaisa (Segeda) - 50 cm

Collar with Celtiberian as from Sekaisa (Segeda) — 2nd–1st centuries BC. Attractive 50 cm long necklace that incorporates an ancient bronze coin attributed to the historic Celtiberian mint of Sekaisa (Segeda, Zaragoza), dated approximately between 130 and 72 BC.
