Gold Stater Type "Moulin-Limoges"

The "Moulin-Limoges" designation refers to the findspot typology established through hoards recovered in the Limousin region, where these staters concentrated in sufficient numbers to define the type. They circulate among attributions to the Lemovices or neighboring Petrocorii, though no tribal inscription resolves the question — Celtic coinage of this region simply predates the habit of self-identification on coin. The type sits within a broader tradition of Gaulish gold derived ultimately from Macedonian Philip II staters, progressively abstracted over successive die generations until the original figural source is barely recoverable.
