Profile on the right, moon-shaped, locks of hair criss-crossed in crescent shape., Single horse from a biga design, the charioteer behind holding a baton or whip, and behind, a four-spoked wheel. Below, a "lyre", the shape of which suggests a military ensign., 1/4 of a statere of the most interesting and remarkable motifs! Although it has been attributed, with some difficulty, to the Sequanes and Helvetii territories in central-eastern France, the profile is very similar to those found on coins attributed to the Carnutes, which are highly moon-shaped. Moreover, this quarter stater, which is designated according to the object under the horse on the reverse as a lyra, should perhaps be seen as another design, possibly a military ensign: this would be quite evocative, with the pole visible, with the triangular ensign at the top, itself topped by an animal shape (wild boar?). In any case, this is a very different style of lyra design usually found among Gallic coins.
