Commentary
Le droit de cet exemplaire semble être traité d’une manière beaucoup plus figurative. Le revers est bien centré ; les trois annelets pointés au-dessous du cheval sont bien visibles. Il semble qu’il y ait un annelet pointé devant les jambes du cheval.
The obverse of this example appears to be treated in a much more figurative manner. The reverse is well centered; the three pointed annulets below the horse are clearly visible. There appears to be a pointed annulet in front of the horse's legs.

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - REMI (Area of Reims)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Remi were one of the most powerful peoples of Gaul and loyal allies of the Romans. The territory of the Rèmes extended over present-day Champagne, along the Aisne. They had for neighbors the Atuatuci, the Treveri, the Mediomatrics, the Lingones, the Suessions, the Bellovaci and the Nervians. They denounced to Caesar the coalition of Belgian peoples of 57 BC which included the Suessions who shared the same laws and the same magistrates. Their main oppidum was Bibrax. The capital of the civitas in Gallo-Roman times was Durocortorum (Reims). Caesar (BG. II, 3-5, 7, 12; III, 11; V, 3, 24, 53, 54, 56; VI, 4, 12, 44; VII, 63, 90; VIII, 6, 11) . Strabo (G. IV, 3, 5). Kruta: 70, 313-314, 366.
