| Reverse description | A stylized quadruped, likely a boar or horse, striding to the left, rendered in the abstracted Celtic manner with exaggerated musculature and curvilinear body contours. Above the animal, a schematic bird with spread wings is depicted in characteristic Gaulish style. Pellets and decorative elements are scattered across the field. The composition is loosely organized on the irregular flan, consistent with the hand-struck technique of Gaulish bronze coinage. |

| Additional information |
The Senones were a Belgic Gaulish tribe whose territory centered on the upper Seine and Yonne valleys — the same people Caesar identified as particularly resistant during the Gallic Wars, their oppidum at Agedincum (modern Sens) holding out well into the final phases of the conquest. Bronze issues of this type circulated in a region under sustained military pressure from 57 BC onward, and the tribal coinage effectively ceased with the Roman pacification of central Gaul following Alesia in 52 BC.
