Commentary
Ces monnaies sont encore mal connues et restent très rares (et souvent mal conservées à cause du billon utilisé). Au revers, ce n’est pas une tête coupée, mais un buste avec les bras écartés, comme sur la série de statères et de quarts à l'hippophore des Namnètes !.
These coins are still poorly known and remain very rare (and often poorly preserved because of the billon used). On the reverse, it is not a severed head, but a bust with outstretched arms, as on the series of staters and quarters with the hippophora of the Namnetes!

Historical background
GALLIA - SANTONES / MID-WESTERN, Unspecified
(1st century BC)
A large part of the coinage of the Center-West still poses delicate problems of restitution today. To the fine, sometimes very detailed attributions of the two previous centuries (19th and 20th centuries), the historians of Gaul, with a view to globalization, prefer to refer to large geographical groups. Isn't the most important thing today that we are in possession of the archaeological object itself? Nevertheless if, in the future, the attitude of the discoverers of coins, fortuitous discoveries or not, official or not, allied to the benevolence of our sometimes suspicious archaeologists could allow us, thanks to a close collaboration (collaborare, to work together in Latin) and extent of their respective competences, to have a better knowledge of the places of discoveries, we could see gradually disappearing all these attributions "uncertain this, uncertain that" for the greatest pleasure of each and the Knowledge of all.
