A metal money box made of bronze, rests on display. The oval-shaped container has an open slot where several gold coins have spilled onto the surface below.
This rare bronze purse was found with six #gold coins still inside in the #Celtic oppidum (settlement) at Manching. It was originally sealed with an organic material, presumably a leather strap.
The purse is rather small: 4.3x3.3 cm. The diameter of the smallest coin is 6.5 mm.🧵1/2
