| Beschrijving keerzijde | Celticized horse advancing to the right, rendered in a schematic and disjointed La Tène style typical of northern Gaulish coinage. A highly abstracted charioteer figure appears above the horse's back, reduced to fragmentary geometric forms. A large prominent pellet is placed between the horse's legs, serving as the primary type-defining element of this issue. Below the horse, a degenerate imitation of a Greek or Latin inscription is present, rendered as pseudo-epigraphic markings without legible meaning. The overall composition derives ultimately from the reverse of Macedonian staters of Philip II, though the prototype has been subjected to extensive stylistic transformation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Caleti were a Belgic tribe occupying the Seine-Maritime region of northern Gaul, and their gold staters derive from the Macedonian gold staters of Philip II that circulated through the Celtic world as trade and mercenary payment beginning in the 4th century BC. By the time the Caleti were striking their own issues, the original prototype had been abstracted through generations of copying into the characteristic disjointed forms seen across Belgic coinage. The large pellet variant is distinguished from related Caleti types by a single prominent pellet, a detail used by specialists to differentiate die groups within this scarce tribal series.
