| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized male head facing right, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of Gaulish Celtic coinage. The face is depicted in a highly schematized manner, with a prominent triangular or wedge-shaped facial outline formed by curvilinear lines. Pellets serve as decorative fillers in the field, and a distinctive curved arc defines the cranium, while a visible ear is rendered in low relief. The surrounding field is populated with geometric motifs including crescents and pellet arrangements typical of the Cadurci tribal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cadurci were a Gallic tribe occupying the Quercy region, the area around modern Cahors, whose resistance to Roman expansion culminated in their siege by Caesar's lieutenants during the Gallic Wars. Coinage of this type belongs to the broader tradition of Gaulish silver struck in the late La Tène period, when tribal mints produced issues that diverged sharply from their Mediterranean prototypes through successive generations of stylistic abstraction.
LT 3258 is classified within Blanchet and de La Tour's foundational typology, though die studies on Cadurci silver remain less systematic than for better-documented tribes of the Loire valley.
