Commentary
Monnaie intéressante avec un fleuron au revers qui correspond en tous points au type au cavalier sans jambes DT S3367A, mais la jambe du cavalier est parfaitement visible sur notre exemplaire !.
Interesting coin with a fleuron on the reverse which corresponds in all respects to the type with the legless rider DT S3367A, but the rider's leg is perfectly visible on our example!

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..
