| Reversbeschreibung | A stylized horse shown in profile moving to the left, with its head turned back toward the viewer in a characteristic Gaulish numismatic convention. The body of the horse is rendered in abstract, linear form with slender, elongated legs. Above the horse, a prominent leaf or branch motif with herringbone cross-hatching fills the upper field, flanked by sinuous curvilinear lines. The surrounding field is decorated with a border of large globular pellets arranged in an arc, a hallmark of the Leuci coinage series. Additional pellets and annulets are scattered in the lower field, contributing to the densely ornamented reverse composition typical of eastern Gaulish staters. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Leuci occupied territory in what is now the Lorraine region of northeastern France, positioned between more powerful Belgic tribes to the north and the Sequani to the south. Caesar mentions them only briefly in the Gallic Wars, noting their submission without the prolonged resistance mounted by neighbors — which may explain why so little tribal coinage survives in large quantities. Their gold staters, struck at a fineness well below the Macedonian prototype they ultimately derive from, reflect the broader Gaulish pattern of progressive debasement over the late La Tène period.
The .375 fineness places this piece toward the later end of the production window.
