Commentary
Si le droit est très incomplet, le revers est assez net avec un triskèle qui n’en est pas un entre les jambes du cerf (?).
Voir la publication de L.-P. Delestrée, D. Hollard et S. Gouet dans les CN. n° 152 de juin 2002 et le S 2639 B du Nouvel Atlas tome IV réattribué aux Sénons plutôt qu’aux Léxoviens.
If the right is very incomplete, the reverse is quite clear with a triskele which is not one between the legs of the deer (?). See the publication by L.-P. Delestrée, D. Hollard and S. Gouet in the CN. n° 152 of June 2002 and S 2639 B of the Nouvel Atlas volume IV reattributed to the Senons rather than the Léxoviens

Historical background
SENONES (Area of Sens)
(1st century BC)
The Senons were the most powerful people in Gaul after the Arverni. Their vast territory extended between the south of Champagne and the north of Burgundy. The Parisii, before being independent, were under their protection. The capital of the Senons was Sens (Agedincum). They are often cited by Caesar in the Commentaries (II., 2), (V., 54 and 56), (VI., 2, 3 and 44), (VII., 4, 11, 34, 56, 58 and 75).
