| Beschrijving keerzijde | A charioteer driving a horse to the right, depicted in a highly abstracted Celtic artistic style derived ultimately from Philip II of Macedon stater prototypes. The horse is shown in full gallop to the right, its body elongated and legs rendered as schematic curved lines with pellet terminals. The charioteer figure above is greatly stylised, reduced to a curved torso with flowing hair or drapery streaming behind. Below the horse, a lyre with multiple strings is prominently placed in the lower field, serving as a characteristic symbol of the Arverni coinage. A wheel or ring symbol appears to the left of the horse, and scattered pellets animate the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Arverni occupied the volcanic highlands of what is now the Auvergne, and at their peak controlled enough of central Gaul to extract tribute from neighboring tribes. These staters circulated during the period when Roman expansion north of the Provincia was accelerating — the generation before Vercingetorix, whose father Celtillus was reportedly executed by the Arverni themselves for attempting to consolidate personal kingship over the tribe.
The gold is characteristically high-purity for Arvernian issues, drawn from alluvial sources in the Massif Central river systems.
