| Reverse description | A highly stylized wolf depicted in profile facing left with jaws agape, rendered in the abstract La Tène decorative vocabulary characteristic of Carnutes tribal coinage. The animal is explicitly sexed, with the tail curled between the hind legs, and prominent ribs indicated by incised lines along the flank. A bouldered crosslet or pellet-in-annulet motif appears above the dorsal line of the beast. The composition fills the irregular flan with no border or legend, the whole executed in low cast relief with strong graphic simplification. |
