| Obverse description | An elephant depicted in profile advancing to the right, rendered in a bold, provincial style characteristic of late Celtic coinage. The animal's body is shown with summary but recognizable anatomical detail, including the curved trunk and distinctive domed head. The legend A HIRTIV appears in the lower field or exergue, referencing the Roman magistrate Aulus Hirtius, reflecting the coin's hybrid Gallo-Roman character. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately worn, consistent with hand-struck provincial production. |
