| Reverse description | A single horse bounding to the right in a dynamic, schematized Celtic style, its mane rendered as a row of small pellets along the neckline. Below the horse appears a trident-like symbol, a characteristic Celtic chariot or wheel motif, accompanied by scattered pellets and annulets in the field. To the left, a concentric oval or eye-shaped symbol is prominently placed, a distinctive feature of the Mouliets type. The composition retains traces of the original Macedonian biga and charioteer design, now fully abstracted into geometric and zoomorphic elements. The field is plain and uninscribed. |

| Additional information |
The "Mouliets" type takes its name from the findspot of Mouliets-et-Villemartin in the Gironde, where a significant hoard concentration helped define the type. These staters circulate through a broad zone of Gallia Celtica during the second century BC, a period when Greek commercial contact through Massalia was actively reshaping how interior tribes conceptualized and produced coinage — though the attribution to any single issuing group remains genuinely unresolved among specialists.
DT 3617 sits in a cluster of related Gaulish gold issues whose tribal assignments have shifted repeatedly since Delestrée and Tache's original classification work.
