| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized male head in profile facing right, rendered in the distinctive La Tène Celtic artistic tradition. The nose is elongated and curved in a crozier-like form, a hallmark of Coriosolitan die-cutting convention. The hair is arranged in three pronounced rolls or waves sweeping toward the rear, terminating in hooked or lipped locks that extend behind the head into the field. The treatment of facial features is highly abstracted, reflecting the characteristic schematization of Armorican Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Coriosolites, a Gaulish tribe occupying the Armorican peninsula in what is now Brittany, produced one of the most idiosyncratic coinage traditions in the ancient Celtic world. Their stater series degrades deliberately across successive classes — not from wear or monetary crisis, but as an intentional stylistic evolution that numismatists still debate. Class III sits mid-sequence in this progression, struck in a billon alloy reflecting a gradual debasement that accelerated as Roman pressure on Armorica intensified in the decades before Caesar's campaigns subdued the region entirely.
