Commentary
Le revers est ponctué de globules ; sur le buste du cavalier sans bras, en guise de seins, et aux articulations des jambes du cheval. Cet exemplaire est d’un style assez inhabituel et d’une facture qui feraient penser à une imitation.
L’exemplaire Gemini, Auction VII, Lot 9 a été vendu 1900$..
The reverse is punctuated with globules; on the armless rider's bust, as breasts, and at the joints of the horse's legs. This example is of a rather unusual style and of a craftsmanship that would suggest an imitation. The Gemini example, Auction VII, Lot 9 sold for $1900.

Historical background
DANUBIAN CELTS - NORICUM - NORICI
(2nd-1st century BC)
According to the work of W. Kruta, we can affirm that the kingdom of Noricum was constituted during the middle of the 2nd century BC, in the territory of present-day Carinthia. Together with the Boii of Pannonia and the Taurisci they certainly formed a powerful kingdom, northeast of Italy and were one of the main Celtic formations on the outskirts of the Alps. This entity experienced its greatest expansion in the 1st century BC and extended to the Danube on the eastern part of the Alps. The conquest undertaken by Augustus was not completed until Tiberius and Drusus.
