Commentary
Cet exemplaire est celui de MONNAIES 28, n° 521. Au droit, la plupart de ces oboles ont une masse plus ou moins informe en guise de tête. Certaines, comme celle-ci, ont quand même une tête réaliste.
This example is that of MONNAIES 28, n° 521. On the right, most of these obols have a more or less shapeless mass as a head. Some, like this one, still have a realistic head

Historical background
ELYSIQUES (oppidum of Ensérune)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Elysians are a small people from the Narbonne region, of Iberian origin whose oppidum could be identified with Ensérune. He is known to us by a mention of Herodotus, "the father of History", who indicates that Gallic mercenaries (Élysiques) would have served in the Carthaginian army in 480 BC, at the time of the siege of 'Himera (Sicily). Sources: Herodotus (H. VII, 165).
