| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Celticized kneeling charioteer or horseman is depicted to right, holding an elongated serrated whip or goad in the right hand, the figure rendered with characteristic La Tène schematism. Beneath the horse, a wolf strides to right, its body shown in profile with an ornamental motif positioned above it; the composition fills the flan with the disjointed, abstracted energy typical of Armorican and northwestern Gaulish coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Aulerci Eburovices, a Belgic Gaulish people settled around what is now Évreux in Normandy, produced a relatively restricted coinage compared to their more prolific neighbors. Their gold issues derive ultimately from Macedonian prototypes that filtered westward through trade and mercenary service, though by the time types like this half stater emerged, any connection to the original models had been radically abstracted through successive die-copying generations.
The kneeling charioteer motif is specific enough to this regional series that it functions as a tribal identifier in the archaeological record — findspot concentrations cluster tightly within Eburovican territory, suggesting limited circulation beyond their own political boundaries.
