Commentary
Les provenances de ces rares monnaies scyphates sont localisées dans la Basse et Haute Normandie, en Ile de France, en Picardie et dans le Hampshire ; ce qui ne permet pas de proposer une attribution certaine. Exemplaire de poids particulièrement léger. Cette monnaie semble avoir été frappée avec les mêmes coins que ceux de la monnaie précédente.
The provenances of these rare scyphate coins are located in Lower and Upper Normandy, Ile de France, Picardy and Hampshire; which does not allow us to propose a certain attribution. A particularly light example. This coin seems to have been struck with the same dies as those of the previous coin.

Historical background
AMBIANI (Area of Amiens)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Their name, "those who are on both sides of the river", indicates that the Ambiens, people of Belgian Gaul, occupied both banks of the Somme (Samara). Their territory corresponds to the current department of the Somme. Their neighbors were the Calètes, the Morins, the Atrébates, the Bellovaques. Their main oppidum was Samarobriva (near Amiens). They participated in the coalition of the Belgian peoples in 57 BC and provided a contingent of ten thousand men. In 52 BC, it was a contingent of five thousand men that they gave for the relief army dedicated to clearing Alesia. Caesar (BG. II, 4, 15; VII, 75; VIII, 7). Strabo (G. IV, 5). Kruta: 68, 110, 366.
