Note: The Celtic Remi bears, with the exception of one issue under Geta from Nicopolis ad Istrum, are essentially the only collectible ancient bears. Almost universally, the bear appears as a central figure on so few coin types across all ancient cultures, each time one comes to market, it's sold quickly and for a strong price.
Fine. Deposits.
