| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized male head facing left in the so-called 'négroïde' style, characterized by a prominent pointed ear and elaborately rendered hair composed of a series of S-shaped curls accented by a continuous line of arched decorative elements. The facial features are rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, with simplified but expressive forms. The overall composition reflects the hybrid stylistic conventions of Nitiobroges coinage from the 2nd to 1st century BC. |

The Nitiobroges occupied the Agenais region along the Garonne, and their coinage reflects sustained contact with neighboring Aquitanian and Iberian monetary traditions rather than straightforward Greco-Massalian inheritance. The "tête négroïde" stylistic group is defined by progressive abstraction of a prototype ultimately traceable to Massalian drachms, but the hybridization here suggests the Nitiobroges were drawing on multiple regional die-cutting workshops simultaneously rather than maintaining a single controlled mint.
At 1.80 g, this piece falls below the standard Massalian drachm weight, consistent with a broader southwest Gaulish tendency toward weight reduction across the second century BC.
