| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised Celtic horse prancing to the right, rendered in an abstracted La Tène manner with exaggerated, disjointed anatomy typical of Belgic coinage. The field is populated with characteristic decorative elements including globules and crescent-shaped motifs scattered above and below the horse. A curved line beneath the horse may represent a ground line or abstracted wheel motif. The composition is arranged dynamically across the flan, with no inscription or legend present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ambiani occupied territory in what is now the Somme basin of northern France, and their coinage circulated in one of the most strategically contested corridors of late Iron Age Europe. Caesar's campaigns in Belgica during the 50s BC almost certainly disrupted production — many scholars believe the latest Ambiani staters were struck specifically to pay warriors rather than to facilitate trade. DT#158 sits within a typological sequence that traces the progressive abstraction of the original Macedonian Philip II prototype, by this stage so thoroughly transformed that the source imagery is barely traceable.
