Commentary

Si le statère uniface des Ambiani est probablement la monnaie gauloise en or la plus courante, cette variété de revers (avec un globule encadré de deux petites esses entre les jambes et un annelet perlé et pointé devant le cheval) était nettement plus rare, presque exceptionnelle.
Cependant, depuis le printemps 2009, plusieurs exemplaires de ce type sont arrivés simultanément sur le marché... Pour cette classe V, S. Scheers n’avait que 17 exemplaires, la plupart répartis entre la BN, Amiens et Bruxelles.
If the Ambiani uniface stater is probably the most common Gallic gold coin, this reverse variety (with a globule framed by two small esses between the legs and a beaded ringlet pointed in front of the horse) was much rarer, almost exceptional . However, since spring 2009, several examples of this type have arrived on the market simultaneously... For this class V, S. Scheers only had 17 examples, most of them distributed between the BN, Amiens and Brussels
