| Beschrijving keerzijde | Androcephalic horse with a human head advancing left, shown bridled in characteristic Armorican style. Above the horse, a charioteer figure is depicted holding a staff or whip, a motif derived from earlier Greek and Macedonian prototypes but rendered in abstract Celtic form. Before the horse, a foliate or vegetal ornament occupies the field, while beneath the horse a distinctive boar sigil appears to the left, serving as a tribal or workshop symbol. The composition is arranged within an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered Gaulish silver coinage of the mid-first century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Veneti were a maritime tribe of Armorica whose confrontation with Rome came to a head in 56 BC, when Caesar's legate Decimus Brutus destroyed their fleet in the Gulf of Morbihan — effectively ending Venetic political independence. Coin production of this type likely straddles that event, with earlier strikes circulating among a still-autonomous people and later ones produced under increasingly constrained circumstances.
The "var." designation against LT#6667 is worth noting: Venetic silver staters show meaningful die variation across the series, and the specific traits separating this piece from the type coin should be documented against Delestrée-Tache's corpus before attribution is considered settled.
