Commentary
Ces monnaies sont encore mal connues et restent très rares (et souvent mal conservées à cause du billon utilisé). Avec la tête coupée au revers et une tête à droite à l’avers, cette monnaie n’est pas représenté dans l’échantillon de la série 1262 du Nouvel Atlas.
These coins are still poorly known and remain very rare (and often poorly preserved because of the bill used). With the severed head on the reverse and a right head on the obverse, this coin is not represented in the sample of the 1262 series of the New Atlas

Historical background
GALLIA - SANTONES / MID-WESTERN, Unspecified
(1st century BC)
A large part of the coinage of the Center-West still poses delicate problems of restitution today. To the fine, sometimes very detailed attributions of the two previous centuries (19th and 20th centuries), the historians of Gaul, with a view to globalization, prefer to refer to large geographical groups. Isn't the most important thing today that we are in possession of the archaeological object itself? Nevertheless if, in the future, the attitude of the discoverers of coins, fortuitous discoveries or not, official or not, allied to the benevolence of our sometimes suspicious archaeologists could allow us, thanks to a close collaboration (collaborare, to work together in Latin) and extent of their respective competences, to have a better knowledge of the places of discoveries, we could see gradually disappearing all these attributions "uncertain this, uncertain that" for the greatest pleasure of each and the Knowledge of all.
