Commentary
Le style de la tête associé à la légende NERONKEN sur une ligne d'exergue font correspondre cette monnaie aux n° 3 et 6 du Villaronga, chacun considéré R8. Le n° 3 a un point entre les deux lettres ON et le n° 8 a une autre légende BIU sous la ligne d'exergue.
Ce type de bronze est apparenté au monnayage celtibère transpyrénéen ou "ibérico-languedocien".

No. 3 has a dot between the two letters ON and No. 8 has another legend BIU under the exergue line. This type of bronze is related to Celtiberian trans-Pyrenean or “Iberian-Languedocian” coinage.

Historical background
GALLIA - NEDENES (oppidum of Montlaures)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
This small people is neither cited by Ptolemy nor by Strabo any more than by Caesar. He must have belonged to the more general group of Longostaletes, in the region between Narbonne and Béziers. It is the recent excavations, carried out over the past thirty years, which have made it possible to restore to the oppida of Montlaurès and Ensérune the importance they had acquired between the creation of the province of Narbonnaise, in 118 BC. C., and the end of the Gallic Wars.
