| Additional information |
Vercingetorix issued coinage only during his brief, desperate campaign against Caesar — these staters belong to the final phase of Gaulish independence, struck between the revolt's outbreak in 53 BC and the catastrophic siege of Alesia in 52 BC. After Alesia, Vercingetorix surrendered in person to Caesar, was held prisoner in Rome for six years, paraded in Caesar's triumph of 46 BC, and executed immediately after. No further Arvernian gold coinage of this type was ever struck.
The DT 3599–3600 classification distinguishes this variety by the recumbent S and amphora beneath the horse — diagnostic details that separate it from closely related Arvernian issues within the same emission.
