Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and wreathed head of Artemis facing right, rendered in a stylized Celtic adaptation of Hellenistic portraiture. The deity is adorned with a prominent earring and a necklace of pellets representing pearls. The hair is depicted in flowing locks arranged beneath the wreath, with individual strands rendered in characteristic La Tène artistic style. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with the facial features exhibiting the abstracted, almost geometric treatment typical of northern Italic Celtic coinage of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

The Lepontii occupied the Alpine valleys around what is now the Ticino and Lake Maggiore region, sitting at the intersection of transalpine trade routes that connected the Po plain to the Celtic north. Their coinage is among the earliest attributed to a Cisalpine Celtic group, and the attribution itself remains contested — some scholars have assigned these issues to neighboring tribes based on findspot distributions rather than any written record. Die links between specimens suggest a relatively small and controlled output, not a large civic mint.
