| Beschrijving keerzijde | An androcephalic horse — displaying a human face — shown bridled and galloping vigorously to the left, rendered in the abstracted curvilinear style typical of Armorican Celtic coinage. Above the horse, the vestigial remains of a head terminate a beaded cord extending into the field. In the space between the legs, two subsidiary devices are present: a small boar-sign to the right and an eagle to the left facing the boar, both serving as characteristic tribal emblems of the Osismii. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Osismii occupied the westernmost tip of Armorica — roughly modern Finistère — and their coinage circulated in one of the most geographically isolated Celtic territories in Gaul. Their issues show almost no influence from Mediterranean monetary conventions, developing instead along lines that diverged sharply from neighboring Armorican tribes. Billon output among the Osismii suggests deliberate debasement over time, likely accelerating as Roman pressure on Gaul intensified through the mid-first century BC.
LT 6555 / DT 2244 places this piece within a well-documented Osismian series, though die links across the type remain incompletely catalogued.
