Quinarius at reversed delta KALETEDOY

The Lingones occupied territory in what is now the Haute-Marne and Côte-d'Or departments of eastern France, positioned between the Sequani and the Senones. Their silver quinarii belong to a regionally distinct coinage tradition that diverged from the heavier Gaulish issues further west, likely reflecting closer commercial contact with the Roman provincial economy filtering up through the Rhône corridor. The reversed delta in the KALETEDOY legend is not a copying error — it appears consistently across the type, suggesting it was an intentional local letterform rather than a die engraver's mistake.
