| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse galloping to the left in characteristic Celtic schematic style, with disjointed limbs rendered as curved and linear strokes. Beneath the horse, a spoked wheel with a central boss serves as the principal symbol associated with the KALETEDOY legend and the Lingones tribal coinage. The legend KALETEDOY, of which KAL is visible, appears in the field adjacent to the horse. The composition fills the irregular flan in a loosely organised arrangement typical of Gaulish silver quinarii of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lingones occupied a territory centered on modern Langres in northeastern Gaul, and their coinage reflects a tribe caught between Germanic pressure from the east and Roman encroachment from the south. The KALETEDOY inscription — almost certainly a magistrate's name or tribal authority rather than a place name — is one of the few legible legends surviving on Lingonian silver, making attributed examples unusually valuable for reconstructing the tribe's administrative structure. Caesar mentions the Lingones explicitly in the Gallic Wars as a people he was careful to keep neutral, sending envoys to them immediately after Alesia in 52 BC.
