| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized Celticized head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, sweeping parallel ridges flowing back from the forehead, dissolving into decorative S-shaped scrolls and spiral motifs that fill the surrounding field. The facial features are schematically rendered, with a prominent eye indicated by a raised pellet, and the nose and mouth reduced to abstract sinuous forms. The overall composition reflects the characteristic Celtic transformation of a classical prototype into an expressive, curvilinear decorative scheme. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Coriosolites, a Gaulish tribe occupying what is now Brittany's northern coast, produced this issue in the decades immediately preceding Caesar's conquest of the region. Their coinage is unusual among Armorican tribes for the degree of internal classification possible — Allen's die studies identified distinct classes within the series, allowing this piece to be placed within a recognizable production sequence rather than treated as an undifferentiated tribal issue.
The tribe supplied a significant naval contingent to the Venetic coalition defeated by Caesar at the Battle of Morbihan in 56 BC, after which Coriosolite political autonomy effectively ended.
