| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and abstracted facial composition rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. A prominent large eye dominates the upper field, set within a schematic facial outline terminating in a curved nose below. An S-shaped form represents the mouth in the lower portion of the face. Beneath the facial motif, a degraded laureate wreath is rendered as a series of parallel lines. A rayed star or solar symbol is positioned to the left of the design in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized horse galloping to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic La Tène style with the body reduced to bold, curvilinear forms. A rayed solar symbol or star appears below the horse in the lower field, and a second star or solar motif is placed above the horse in the upper field. The horse's limbs and torso are depicted with characteristic Celtic abstraction, with pellet and globular ornaments accentuating the composition. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bellovaci were among the most powerful of the Belgic tribes, and Julius Caesar singled them out specifically in the Gallic Wars as fielding the largest contingent of the Belgic coalition — some 100,000 warriors by his account, almost certainly inflated. Their territory centered on what is now the Beauvais region of northern France, and their coinage circulated through a network of tribal alliances rather than any fixed market economy. This stater class spans the period of Roman conquest and its immediate aftermath, meaning individual specimens may predate or postdate the catastrophic defeat of the Bellovaci around 51 BC.
