Head facing right, with hair in large locks, surmounted by a boar on the right; four beaded cords extend from the head, Androcephalic horse, bridled on the right; above it, the charioteer holds a flowing rope attached to a banner fluttering in front of the horse’s head; a spoked wheel beneath the horse’s tail., A rare example of a gold stater minted by the Gallic tribe of the Veneti. The coin has circulated but remains legible despite the flats. Like a large proportion of Gallic coins, this type adopts the iconographic program of the staters of Philip II of Macedon, originally featuring a head of Apollo on the obverse and a biga driven by a charioteer on the reverse. Here, this design has been adapted to reflect an iconographic vocabulary specific to the Gallic tribes.La Tour II 6826-6827 var. Delestrée 2096 BN 6827
