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

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.
