CELTIC, Northwest Gaul. Uncertain tribe. Circa 3rd-2nd century BC. Hemistater (Electrum, 16 mm, 2.84 g, 10 h), "three lances" type, imitating staters of Philip II of Macedon. Celticized laureate head of Apollo to right, with curly hair. Rev. Charioteer, of strangely simian form, holding a spear in his right hand and the reins in his left, seemingly sitting on the dumb of a horse galloping to right; in field to right, spear upwards; below horse, spear to left and, in exergue, bead and reel design. Delestrée & Tache 106 (same dies). Delestrée, Revue Numismatique 2001, pl. X, 23. Very rare, possibly the third known example. Light scratches, otherwise, very fine.

From a Swiss collection, and from the Cologny Collection, Nomos 18, 5 May 2019, 2.
