| Beschrijving keerzijde | A balled cross divides the reverse field into four distinct quarters, each embellished with a decorative motif characteristic of Ruteni coinage. Aquatic or water leaves fill three of the four angles — the first, second, and fourth quarters — rendered in stylized Celtic fashion. The third quarter contains a balled axe symbol. The overall composition is geometric and highly schematic, reflecting the abstract artistic conventions of late Gaulish silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ruteni occupied the region around modern Rodez in southern Gaul, and their silver coinage reflects prolonged contact with the Greek trading colonies of the Mediterranean coast — Massalia above all. The aquatic leaf motif places this issue within a broader regional vocabulary of La Tène decorative grammar, but the Ruteni adaptation is distinctly local rather than derivative.
The tribe submitted to Rome by 52 BC, and coinage of this type likely ceased shortly thereafter as Roman monetary supply displaced indigenous issues across the province.
