| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull standing, rendered in a bold and schematic Celtic style within a beaded or dotted border partially visible on the flan. The animal is depicted in profile facing left, with compact, rounded body forms characteristic of Belgic bronze coinage. An ear of grain is indicated in the field, a motif associated with fertility and agricultural symbolism common on Gaulish bronze issues. The reverse field is flat with a granular bronze surface covered by a thick verdigris patina. The overall composition is typical of the Suessiones tribal coinage attributed to the period of approximately 60–50 BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Suessiones occupied the Aisne valley in what Caesar described as one of the most powerful of the Belgic confederacies — capable, he claimed, of fielding 50,000 warriors and holding authority over tribes across the channel in Britain. Their coinage was struck during precisely the decade Caesar was dismantling that power, culminating in the siege of Noviodunum around 57 BC, after which the tribe submitted and largely disappears from the political record.
The ΔEIVICIACOS inscription likely references Diviciacus, a Suessiones king mentioned by Caesar — distinct from the Aeduan druid of the same name.
