Hemistater 2nd-1st century BC Not Applicabl Aulerci Eburovices, Gold AU(55-58)

Profile on the left, very geometric, cheeky, with exuberant hair. The hair is split in two by a beaded cord: above, the strands are represented by two “mistletoe branches” (beaded segments), with the end of the lower one connected by a line to the penultimate bead of the upper one. The locks of the lower part are formed by three parallel curves, the ends of the shortest one connected by a segment with a central pellet.The eye is represented by a large dotted triangle, the nose materialized by its outer tip, and below, the mouth is minimized to a dot. From the ear, represented by a semicircle, emerges a beaded cord curved towards the chin. Below the hair, a boar with bristled hair upwards, its back outwards, with a globule between its legs., Highly stylized horse galloping to the right, surmounted by the remains of a charioteer, shaped like a horizontal insect, from which emerge filiform arms, one positioned as if holding the reins (visible under its jaw), the other going over the horse's head. Beneath the horse, a boar-standard with bristled hair, to the right, a globule between its legs. In front of the horse, a motif with three beaded branches., Hemistater “with wild boar” is mainly attributed to the Aulerci Eburovices tribe (from the Evreux region), as part of a large series of coins attributed to this people from the Lower Seine region, along with the Lexovii. This large group, mainly consisting of hemistaters but also including quarter staters, has been divided into two groups, one with a wolf under the horse and the other with a boar, as seen here. This example has the characteristic of being part of the most geometrical type found, where the representations have become highly stylized.Extremely well preserved, with light double-strike on the horse's forelegs, shows almost no wear from circulation. The details have been superbly preserved, allowing one to appreciate the complexity of the composition of the types of the coin, on both obverse and reverse sides. We inform that this example was struck with the same observe die as another example we are offering. Delestrée, Serie 402, 2404 ; Scheers, Ebur. 1980, série Id, classe II, 35-41.
