| Reverse description | A horse walking to the right, depicted in the schematic Celtic style with elongated, simplified limbs and body. Above the horse appears a pointed ringlet or annulet motif, while a lyre symbol is placed between the horse's legs, a recurrent emblematic device on Cadurci issues. The composition fills the flan, with no legend or inscription. The overall rendering is characteristic of the abstract, symbol-rich iconography of Gaulish fractional silver coinage. |
