| Aversbeschreibung | Stylized head facing left, the hair rendered in a schematic Celtic manner and encircled by a beaded cord terminating in a volute at the nape of the neck. Two crescents appear in the field before the face, and a pointed ringlet ornament is depicted beneath the chin. The overall style is characteristic of Gallo-Belgic La Tène artistic tradition, with abstracted facial features typical of late Iron Age coinage. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A free horse galloping to the left, rendered in the abstracted La Tène style typical of Gallo-Belgic coinage. A pointed ringlet ornament appears beneath the horse's tail, and an anchor symbol is placed between the legs. The legend VIIRICIV appears in the field, likely a tribal or dynastic name associated with the Catuslugi. The composition fills the irregular flan with characteristic Celtic artistic energy. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Catuslugi occupied a poorly-documented corner of Gallia Belgica, and their bronze coinage was being produced precisely as Caesar's campaigns dismantled the political structures of the region. The VIIRICIVS inscription — a Gaulish personal name appearing across multiple classes of this type — likely references a local magistrate or issuing authority, a practice that mirrors Latin coin legends of the same period and may reflect deliberate administrative mimicry under Roman pressure.
Class II distinctions within the VIIRICIVS series are defined by die characteristics catalogued by Scheers; the classification carries real weight given how frequently these bronzes appear in mixed hoards with Roman Republican issues.
