| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised griffin depicted in left profile occupies the central field, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of eastern Gaulish coinage. The creature's body, wing, and beak are suggested through bold, simplified lines typical of Celtic bronze potin-style engraving. To the right of the griffin, the tribal inscription MEDIOMA appears in Latin characters, identifying the issuing people, the Mediomatrici of the Moselle region. The overall composition is compact and slightly off-centre on the irregular flan, with the devices somewhat flattened due to uneven striking pressure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Mediomatrici occupied territory centered on present-day Metz — ancient Divodorum — in what is now northeastern France. Their bronze coinage of this period was struck during the final decades of Gaulish independence, before Caesar's campaigns absorbed the region into Roman Gaul by 51 BC. Class II bronzes are distinguished from Class I primarily by fabric and stylistic execution, a distinction established through die study rather than ancient documentation.
Survival in collectible condition is genuinely uncommon; these small bronzes circulated heavily in a region that saw sustained military disruption.
