| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized Celtic profile effigy facing right, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition with highly schematized features. The hair is depicted as a series of curved lines terminating in tight scrolled volutes. The mouth is characteristically formed by a torc motif, a hallmark of Parisii coinage of this class. Before the face, an S-shaped element curls upward, terminating in a loop above a small globule in the field. The overall treatment reflects the progressive abstraction typical of late Gaulish quarter-stater coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized horse moving to the left, executed in the highly abstracted Celtic artistic idiom characteristic of Parisii coinage. The charioteer figure, conventionally depicted above the horse on earlier Gaulish staters, has been entirely replaced by a distinctive reticulated ornamental element identified as a snaffle or bridle motif, rendered as an interlaced or netted design. The horse's anatomy is reduced to schematic linear forms, with minimal but expressive detailing. The composition is typical of Class VI Parisii quarter-staters as catalogued in Delestrée-Tache. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Parisii occupied the Île de la Cité in the Seine long before Caesar's Gallic Wars made their territory a Roman military objective. By the late first century BC, the progressive abstraction of their gold stater coinage had reached a point where the original Macedonian prototype — itself derived from Philip II's issues — was nearly unrecognizable. The quarter stater denominations degraded furthest and fastest, driven by repeated reduction of gold content and die-cutting by craftsmen working increasingly from existing coins rather than any canonical model.
DT#86 falls within Delestrée and Tache's classification of the latest Parisii issues, suggesting production continued well after the Roman conquest of 52 BC.
