Commentary
Comme le n° 1667 de MONNAIES 38 et la monnaie précédente, ce bronze semble avoir été refrappé sur une autre monnaie indéterminée.... Cette même caractéristique pour un bronze rare laisse des questions sur les circonstances de sa fabrication !.
Like n° 1667 of MONNAIES 38 and the previous coin, this bronze seems to have been re-struck on another undetermined coin.... This same characteristic for a rare bronze leaves questions about the circumstances of its manufacture!

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.
