| Obverse description | Bare head of a female Gallic captive turned to right, rendered with dishevelled, flowing hair conveying her barbarian status. A carnyx (Gallic war trumpet) is depicted upright behind the head, its characteristic animal-head bell visible in the field. The obverse is anepigraphic, with no legend present, and is bordered by a ring of dots. The portrait is a rare and artistically accomplished depiction of a non-Roman figure on Republican coinage, likely referencing Julius Caesar's recent Gallic campaigns. |
