| Beschrijving keerzijde | A figure identified as Lucius Coelius Caldus stands behind a table, engaged in preparing an epulum (public feast), with an inscription visible on the table surface. To the left stands a trophy composed of a Macedonian shield, and to the right stands a second trophy adorned with a carnyx and an oval shield decorated with a thunderbolt motif. Multiple legends distributed across the field reference the tresviri epulones office and the imperator acclamation of the gens Coelia. The composition is enclosed within a border of dots. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaius Coelius Caldus served as moneyer around 51 BC, a year when Rome's political fabric was tearing at the seams — Caesar in Gaul, Pompey consolidating influence in Italy, the Senate scrambling to reassert authority. The Coelia gens had produced a consul of the same name in 94 BC, and the moneyer's issues explicitly invoke that ancestry, making this coin as much a piece of family propaganda as state currency.
RRC 437/4 is the rarest of the Caldus moneyer issues, distinguished from the closely related 437/1–3 types by specific reverse iconography tied to the consul ancestor's campaigns against the Saluvii and Celtiberians.
