| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylized and deeply abstracted anthropomorphic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic late Celtic degenerate tradition. The cranium is depicted in a distinctive kidney or bean shape, with a prominent rounded protrusion indicating the ear or hair mass at upper right and a lobed lower section suggesting the chin and jaw. The facial features are reduced to schematic relief forms with no legible details, consistent with the advanced stylistic degeneration of Hellenistic prototypes seen in Belgic coinage of the first century BC. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or additional decorative elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Morini occupied the coastal marshes and dense forests of what is now the Pas-de-Calais and Belgian littoral — precisely the territory Caesar described as the most remote of all Gallic peoples when his campaigns reached the region around 56–55 BC. Their coinage, including this quarter stater, was likely struck in the final decades before Roman pressure collapsed the tribe's political autonomy entirely. The so-called "kidney head" designation is a modern typological label derived from the abstracted cranial form, a stylistic reduction carried further here than on comparable Belgic issues.
