| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized large human eye rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition, oriented to the left, depicted in a bold, abstract manner characteristic of Gaulish coinage. The eye motif is formed by a pointed almond-shaped outline with a prominent central pupil, flanked by wavy or serrated linear bands that fill the field. Pellets and additional ornamental elements accompany the design in the surrounding field. The overall composition is highly schematic, reflecting the progressive abstraction of earlier Macedonian prototypes by Belgic Celtic die-cutters. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

The Remi were a Belgic tribe occupying the territory around present-day Reims, and unlike many of their neighbors they maintained a cooperative relationship with Rome during the Gallic Wars — Caesar specifically notes them as reliable allies, which may explain why their coinage continued to circulate with relative stability through the mid-first century BC. Their gold staters derive ultimately from Macedonian prototypes that filtered into Gaul centuries earlier, progressively abstracted through generations of local die-cutters until the original forms dissolved into purely geometric arrangements.
The "eye" designation in modern catalogs follows a long numismatic convention of naming Gaulish types by their most recognizable surviving motif.
