| Beschrijving keerzijde | An androcephalous horse galloping to the right, its human head rendered in schematic Celtic style. A charioteer or driver figure strides alongside, raising the left hand aloft and grasping the reins with the right hand. Beneath the horse's body, a hippophorus — a small subsidiary figure or creature — is depicted in the field between the legs, a distinctive iconographic element of Namnetan coinage. The composition is characteristic of Armorican disjointed-chariot types, with dynamic linear rendering of the horse's limbs and mane. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Namnetes occupied the territory around the mouth of the Loire, and their coinage circulated in a region heavily contested during Caesar's Gallic campaigns of the 50s BC — the probable terminus for this series. Quarter staters of this type are fractional issues that appear to have served actual exchange functions rather than prestige hoarding, given their wear patterns in the archaeological record. The hippophorus variant designation under DT#2197 distinguishes it from the more common die groupings catalogued under the parent LT#6745 type.
