| Reverse description | A highly stylized Celticized horse galloping to the left, its body and limbs rendered in schematic, disjointed elements characteristic of late Gaulish coinage derived from Macedonian prototypes. A pellet-in-annulet motif enclosed within a pelleted circle appears below the horse in the lower field. Additional pellets and abstract ornamental devices fill the surrounding field. The legend LVCOTIOS is inscribed in Latin characters. The composition exemplifies the advanced geometric abstraction of the Remi tribal coinage of the late Iron Age. |

| Additional information |
The Remi were a Belgic people whose territory centered on what is now Reims — a tribe notable for their early cooperation with Caesar during the Gallic Wars, which may partly explain why their coinage continued relatively undisturbed through the conquest period. The LVCOTIOS stater is attributed to a named magistrate or chieftain, placing it among a subset of Gaulish issues where individual authority was explicitly marked on the coinage itself, a practice more Roman than Celtic in its political logic.
The die corpus for this type is limited, and specimens show meaningful variation in flan preparation.
