| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized Celtic male head facing right, rendered in the characteristic abstract La Tène artistic idiom. The effigy features a pronounced crooked nose, a prominent oval eye rendered in relief, and flowing hair depicted as a series of curved parallel lines sweeping back from the brow. A beaded cord or torque-like ornamental element is positioned in the field before the face. The flan is irregular and slightly chipped at the edge, consistent with hand-struck Armorican coinage of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized horse galloping vigorously to the right, depicted in the highly abstracted Celtic manner characteristic of Armorican coinage. A lyre-shaped device, rendered with multiple parallel curved lines and a circular pellet at its base, appears beneath the horse between its legs. A cross or wheel motif is visible in the field before the horse. The reverse composition displays the bold, energetic quality typical of Coriosolitan die-cutters, with the horse's body rendered in strong relief against a plain field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Coriosolites, an Armorican tribe occupying roughly what is now the Côtes-d'Armor region of Brittany, produced one of the most stylistically distinctive coin sequences in the Celtic world. Class V of their billon stater series represents a late phase of production, likely compressed into the decades immediately preceding Caesar's Gallic campaigns, which effectively ended indigenous minting across the region after 56 BC when the Veneti's naval defeat left Armorica politically shattered.
The fractional denomination is notably scarce relative to full staters of the same class — surviving examples suggest limited production, possibly tied to specific transactional or ceremonial demand rather than broad circulation.
