Commentary
Ce statère en bon or jaune laisse à penser que cet exemplaire se situe dans les premières frappes de la série de Crainvilliers.
Le croissant du revers se retrouve sur d’autres monnaies qui se sont certainement inspirées de ce monnayage séquano-helvète...
Dans cette série, les statères semblent encore plus rares que les quarts.
This stater in good yellow gold suggests that this example is among the first strikes of the Crainvilliers series. The crescent on the reverse is found on other coins that were certainly inspired by this Sequano-Helvetian coinage... In this series, the staters seem even rarer than the quarters

Historical background
SEQUANI - HELVETII, Unspecified (Currently Switzerland)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
These two peoples were neighbors and a certain number of coins, particularly staters and quarter staters of electrum from the first century BC, are simultaneously attributed to them. The coin found in Avenches (east of Lake Neuchâtel), of a so-called sequana coinage, illustrates this phenomenon. Gossip of the La Tène type also belongs to this group!.
