Commentary
Monnaie qui ne semble pas répertoriée, à rapprocher des drachmes au loup et au triskèle ! L’aurige stylisée au revers n’est pas aussi sans rappeler les types dérivés de Bridiers.
coin which does not seem to be listed, to be compared to drachmas with the wolf and the triskelion! The stylized charioteer on the reverse is also reminiscent of the types derived from Bridiers

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..
