| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized horse advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic idiom with disjointed limbs and pellet ornaments in the field. Beneath or beside the horse, a boar symbol is depicted — a totem animal of particular significance in Belgic coinage — rendered with characteristic Gaulish artistic convention. The abbreviated tribal legend ΔEIVIC appears in Greek characters above or around the horse. The overall composition is typical of the Suessiones bronze series attributed to the late La Tène period. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show green patination and encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Suessiones, whose territory centered on modern Soissons in northern Gaul, were among the most powerful of the Belgic tribes in the mid-first century BC — Caesar himself noted their king Diviciacus had held authority over both Belgic Gaul and parts of Britain. Whether the name rendered here as ΔEIVICIACOS commemorates that same ruler or a successor is unresolved, but the Greek-letter rendering of a Gaulish name points to a mint operating with at least some Mediterranean scribal influence.
The type falls within the period of Caesar's Gallic Wars and their immediate aftermath, when tribal coin production across the region was collapsing under Roman pressure.
