| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristically abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is arranged in three large, boldly modeled locks radiating from the crown, framing the face in a striking decorative manner. The facial features are rendered with a large, prominent eye depicted in relief, a defined nose, and a schematized mouth. Beaded cordwork or torque-like strands encircle the head, adding further ornamental detail to the composition. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of struck Armorican electrum fractional coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Osismii occupied the far western tip of the Armorican peninsula — roughly modern-day Finistère — and their coinage circulated in one of the most geographically isolated Celtic territories in Gaul. Caesar mentions the Osismii among the coastal peoples subdued during the 56 BC campaign led by Publius Crassus, which likely marks the hard terminus for active production of issues like this one. The quarter stater denomination suggests a functioning internal economy, not merely prestige or tribute.
DT 2221 is distinguished by its barrier motif, a recurrent but poorly understood element in Armorican electrum coinage that does not appear consistently across neighboring tribal issues.
