Reverse description Stylized horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, with the body depicted in a schematized, disjointed manner characteristic of Belgic Gaulish coinage. A large pellet or globular element appears above the horse's back, likely a vestigial solar symbol or wheel motif. The legs and body are rendered in low, flat relief with minimal anatomical detail. Below the horse, additional abstract elements are visible. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with coinage of the Remi tribe attributed to LT 8030 and DT 181-182 variants.

Additional information

The Remi were a Belgic tribe whose territory centered on what is now Reims — notably, they sided with Rome during Caesar's Gallic campaigns rather than joining the broader coalition against him, a political alignment that likely allowed their minting activity to continue relatively undisturbed into the mid-first century BC. Their fractional gold coinage circulated alongside that of neighboring tribes in a zone where multiple monetary traditions overlapped, and the "var." designations against both LT and DT suggest this piece falls outside the precisely documented die groupings, which in Belgic coinage can indicate a transitional or geographically peripheral workshop.
