Highly stylised and abstracted Celtic head facing right, rendered in a degenerate La Tène artistic style. The facial features are dissolved into a series of raised pellets and curved relief lines distributed across the flan. The overall composition is compact and fills the irregular round flan with little defined field. |

A schematic cross divides the reverse into four cantons, each containing a raised annulet. A prominent pellet occupies the centre of the cross at the intersection of the arms. The design is rendered in a bold, stylised Celtic manner with curved lines accentuating the quadrants, characteristic of late Gaulish silver coinage. |

The Vangiones were a Germanic tribe settled in the upper Rhine region, roughly around modern Worms, whose coinage reflects deep Gaulish numismatic influence absorbed through prolonged contact with Celtic neighbors. This fractional issue — a quarter of an already small denomination — sits at the extreme low end of Celtic silver coinage by weight, suggesting use in fine-grained commercial exchange rather than tribute or prestige contexts. Flesche 410 is among the rarer documented Vangiones types, with specimens appearing almost exclusively in Rhine valley hoards.
