Stater class IVb

正面描述	Highly stylized and disintegrated Celtic head facing right, rendered in the abstract curvilinear tradition characteristic of Armorican coinage. The hair is depicted as a large, elaborate whirligig or spiral motif composed of bold, deeply cut concentric arcs radiating outward, dominating the entire field. Subsidiary pellet-and-arc ornaments appear in the periphery, likely representing facial features reduced to decorative abstraction. The overall design is executed in a vigorous low-relief Celtic artistic style, with no legible inscription.

附加信息	The Coriosolites occupied the Armorican peninsula in what is now Brittany, and their coinage — including this class IVb stater — was likely struck in significant numbers in the decades before Julius Caesar's Gallic campaigns systematically dismantled tribal political structures across the region. The single largest known hoard of Coriosolite coins, recovered from Jersey in 1957, contained over 11,000 pieces and remains one of the most important Celtic coin deposits ever found in the British Isles. Allen's die study identified the class IVb subdivision on the basis of specific stylistic progressions within the series, not a discrete mint event.
