Commentary
Il existe une variante de buste qui ne semble pas avoir été prise en compte dans les classements ; l’exemplaire de la collection Changargnier et celui du musée de Rouen ont la particularité d’avoir une tête barbue.
There is a bust variant which does not seem to have been taken into account in the rankings; the copy from the Changargnier collection and that from the Rouen museum have the particularity of having a bearded head

Historical background
PICTONES / BITURIGES - MID-WESTERN, Unspecified
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Many heavy drachmas, with a rider or superimposed horses are difficult to classify. These early coins originate from the confines of Berry and Touraine; often attributed to the Pictons or the Bituriges. If the typology does not make it possible to determine an attribution to such or such people, the distribution of the discoveries is hardly more precise and the conclusions of their metallic analysis are ultimately rather disappointing..
