Commentary
Le droit est également assez stylisé, comme les exemplaires MONNAIES XV, n°1180-1181. L’annelet pointé entre la légende et le lion semble n’avoir jamais été mentionné et manque à toutes les publications de musées consultées.
The obverse is also quite stylized, like the examples COINS XV, n°1180-1181. The pointed annulet between the legend and the lion seems never to have been mentioned and is missing from all the museum publications consulted

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - MELDI (Area of Meaux)
(1st century BC)
The Meldes are mentioned only once in Caesar's work. This small people lived between the Seine and the Marne in the plain of Brie with Meaux as its capital. The Meldes emancipated themselves late from the tutelage of the Suessions and the Remes at the time of the Gallic Wars. Having become independent in 57 BC, the Meldes chose to ally with the Romans. Caesar had sixty ships built by the Meldes, in 55 BC, for the expedition to Brittany. Caesar (BG. V, 5).
