| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized male head facing left, wearing a crested and plumed helmet with a raised visor, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The surface of the head is decorated with granulated pellets, a hallmark of Aulerci Cenomani coinage. Bold, schematic facial features are characteristic of the Gaulish die-cutting style of the late La Tène period. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Aulerci Cenomani occupied the territory around present-day Le Mans, a Gaulish civitas that maintained closer diplomatic ties with Rome than most of their neighbors — a relationship that almost certainly influenced the strongly Romanized imagery this people chose for their coinage. The carnyx, a bronze war trumpet used in battle to unsettle enemies, appears here not as decoration but as a deliberate assertion of martial identity at a moment when Roman military pressure on Gaul was intensifying toward Caesar's campaigns.
The quinarius denomination itself was borrowed directly from the Roman monetary system, an unusually frank adoption for a Gaulish issuer.
