Chubby profile to left, the ear is formed by an oval from which a wide curve emerges, returning under the chin. Between the cheek and the curve, two annulets from which a descending curve starts. The eye is formed by an unclosed triangle with a pellet in the centre, the mouth by two pearls, and above this, the forehead is formed by a pelleted curve. Before, a vertical line for the nose. Above the forehead and dividing the hair in two, pearled cords emanating from the ear; between these, th hair are represented by a triangle with pellet ends, on the other side, by three curves. Behind, a boar facing downwards, with its back turned to the outside., Harnessed horse galloping to right, surmounted by a highly figured charioteer, holding the reins in one hand and brandishing the other. The charioteer is unrecognisable, depicted in simple lines and forms. Before the horse, a wheel motif. Below, a boar to right, an annulet before and behind it., Beautiful specimen of a quarter stater of the highest rarity, attributed to the Aulerci Eburovices tribe, and of which it seems that less than 5 specimens are known with this type, and only one other specimen than ours has been seen in recent auctions. It is a singular variety of type and much sought after by collectors for its rarity. This small module shows the development of coinage in this region of north-west France. This example also shows the diversity in the varieties struck, on a wide flan allowing us to see all the details, sometimes out of flan, such as the boar behind the portrait, or the one under the horse.
