| Aversbeschreibung | Highly devolved abstract design featuring a stylized horse galloping to right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic schematic tradition of the Ambiani tribe. Above the horse, a pellet triad and the vestiges of a charioteer's arms are depicted in abstracted form. A crescent with a central pellet appears below the horse, while the exergual line is decorated with a series of crescents and pellets, all elements being heavily stylized derivatives of the original Macedonian gold stater prototype. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Reverse die is uninscribed and undecorated, presenting a plain, slightly convex gold surface entirely devoid of design elements. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular, lumpy fabric typical of struck Celtic gold coinage of the Belgic tradition, with natural surface undulations resulting from the hand-striking process. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Ambiani occupied the Somme valley in what is now Picardy, and their gold coinage — including this stater — was likely minted in significant volume to pay mercenary troops serving in the various inter-tribal conflicts of the late Gaulish period. Caesar's campaigns after 58 BC disrupted production across the region catastrophically; issues struck after roughly 57 BC are generally associated with a tribe already under severe military pressure. The alloy reduction from earlier Macedonian-derived prototypes reflects either deliberate debasement or constrained access to bullion as Roman encroachment tightened.
