Beschrijving voorzijde Stylized male head facing left, rendered in the characteristic Armorican Celtic manner with pronounced, schematized facial features. The hair is depicted as sweeping, large voluted locks arranged around the cranium, framed by a border of beaded cordwork encircling the design. The treatment of the face is bold and plastic, with deeply modeled cheekbones and eye socket typical of late La Tène artistic convention. The field around the effigy is plain, with the beaded border serving as the principal decorative framing element.

Aanvullende informatie

The Osismii occupied the westernmost tip of Armorica — the Crozon and Léon peninsulas of what is now Finistère — placing them at the geographic and cultural edge of the Gaulish world. Their gold coinage drew heavily on earlier Armorican traditions ultimately derived from the Macedonian stater of Philip II, though by this period the abstraction had progressed so far that the original figurative sources are barely recoverable. The "var." designation against DT#2206 suggests a die or stylistic deviation not fully catalogued by Delestrée and Tache, which is unsurprising given how loosely the Osismii's output was standardized.
