| Reversbeschreibung | An eagle stands in right profile with wings fully outstretched, its head turned back to the right in a heraldic pose. A rowel motif — depicted as a circle with four perpendicular rays — is prominently placed between the granulated ground line and the upper surface of the right wing. To the right of the eagle, a chevron or zigzag line descends vertically in the field. Below the tail, a pointed or wedge-shaped segment is visible. The entire composition is executed in the schematic, curvilinear Celtic style characteristic of Carnutes bronze coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Carnutes occupied the territory around present-day Chartres and Orléans, and held particular religious authority among the Gallic tribes — Caesar identifies their territory as the site where Druids gathered annually for their pan-Gallic assembly. This coin circulated in the decades immediately preceding the catastrophic revolt of 52 BC, when Carnutes warriors initiated the broader uprising by massacring Roman settlers at Cenabum (Orléans), the act that triggered Vercingetorix's confederation. Very few Carnute bronze issues survived in quantity; the destruction of their principal oppida during Caesar's subsequent campaigns likely disrupted hoarding patterns that might otherwise have preserved larger assemblages.
