| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized and highly abstracted horse advancing to the right, rendered in the characteristic disjointed Celtic manner with the body dissolved into a series of curved and globular elements. A prominent open crescent is positioned above the horse's back, serving as a symbolic celestial motif. Below the creature, an S-shaped ornament and a single large pellet occupy the lower field, typical ancillary symbols of Ambiani coinage. The composition reflects the La Tène artistic tradition, in which naturalistic form is subordinated to dynamic abstract patterning. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ambiani occupied the territory around modern Amiens in what is now the Somme department, and their gold staters were circulating precisely when Caesar's legions pushed north into Belgic Gaul during the campaigns of 57–51 BC. Whether these coins funded tribal resistance, mercenary recruitment, or the movement of goods under Roman pressure is impossible to say with certainty — but the chronology is unambiguous.
The Delmonte and DT classifications place this piece within a tightly defined die family derived ultimately from Macedonian gold prototypes, transmitted through generations of abstraction across the Channel trade network.
