| Beschrijving keerzijde | Disjointed Celtic horse prancing to the right, executed in the highly fragmented and abstract style characteristic of Belgic coinage derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes. The horse's body is dissolved into discrete curvilinear elements, with detached limbs, crescentic forms, and pellets distributed across the field. A wheel or solar symbol and scattered pellets accompany the horse, filling the field in the manner typical of this series. No charioteer, legend, or exergual inscription is present. |

The "small module" designation places this piece within a broader pattern of weight reduction visible across Belgic gold coinage during the first century BC — a deliberate response to the economic disruption caused by Caesar's campaigns pushing tribal confederacies into increasingly unstable political arrangements, though this particular issue predates the conquest itself. Attribution to a specific tribe has resisted consensus for generations; the scholarly references diverge enough that "Uncertain Belgica" remains the honest position rather than a lazy one.
The reduced flan is not degradation — it reflects a conscious retariffing of the gold stater tradition inherited ultimately from Macedonian prototypes circulating westward over two centuries.
