| Beschrijving keerzijde | A wading bird, identified as a heron or similar long-legged wader, depicted in profile advancing to the left in a schematic but lively La Tène style. The bird's elongated legs, body, and outstretched neck are rendered in low relief against a plain field. A beaded border encircles the design near the periphery of the irregular flan. The tribal legend IIPOS appears in the field, rendered in Gaulish characters, identifying this issue as a named emission of the Arverni of Gallia Celtica. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Arverni occupied the volcanic uplands of what is now the Auvergne, and by the second century BC had consolidated enough political authority to issue coinage under their own name — an uncommon explicitness among Gaulish peoples, most of whom struck anonymous types. The inscription IIPOS remains incompletely understood; it has been read as a magistrate's name, a mint signature, and a religious formula, with no scholarly consensus settled.
This series predates the catastrophic Roman campaigns that would eventually reduce the Arverni from the dominant power in Gaul to a client people after Vercingetorix's surrender at Alesia in 52 BC.
