| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized Celtic head facing right, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition with deeply engraved, disheveled hair depicted in large, flowing locks radiating from the crown. The facial features are schematically rendered, characteristic of Armorican Gaulish coinage of the late second to early first century BC. The field is unadorned, with no legend or inscription. The overall style reflects the progressive abstraction of Hellenistic prototypes common among the Pictones tribe. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A winged horseman galloping to the right, rendered in the highly stylized and abstracted manner characteristic of late Gaulish coinage. The horse's body is elongated with exaggerated limbs, and a prominent wing motif rises above the rider. Beneath the horse, a stylized floral or rosette ornament is depicted, adorned with a central globule, serving as a distinctive type symbol of the Pictones series. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Pictones occupied the Atlantic coast of Gaul between the Loire and the Charente — roughly modern Poitou — and maintained enough independence to strike their own silver through the late Republican period, even as Roman commercial influence pushed most Gaulish tribes toward bronze or potin. Their drachm series derives ultimately from Massalian prototypes, but by this stage the imagery had been abstracted through generations of local die-cutting into something distinctly regional.
DT 3678 is attributed specifically to the Pictones on the strength of find-spot concentrations around the Vienne basin.
