The warriors in armour are difficult, because AFAIK the brimmed helmet is not typical and looks more Greek or Thracian, but would a Briton making a stamp for coins bother to make a rider look foreign unless he had a Greek coin in front of him and was copying? Did the Greeks or Romans make coins with cavalrymen on them? If not, it's hard to argue against it being a depiction of local arms and armour.
Once again, can you please link these coins you mentioned?
