1/4 Stater Class Vb

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.
