Commentary
Au droit, on devine le bord du coin, plus ou moins lisse, qui a reçut le flan pour la frappe du revers. Le revers permet de voir l’arrière de la monnaie, avec la dégénérescence de la roue et les trois globules au-dessus de l’arrière train du cheval.
On the obverse, we can see the edge of the die, more or less smooth, which received the flan for striking the reverse. The reverse allows us to see the back of the coin, with the degeneration of the wheel and the three globules above the horse's hindquarters.

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.
