Commentary
Cette monnaie semble unique. Si le style est sans aucun doute à rapprocher des exemplaires provenant du trésor de Tayac, le droit ne correspond à aucune des monnaies étudiées avec un portrait qui diffère dans le traitement de la chevelure. Le revers, quant à lui, se rapproche de la série au trident mais un symbole à droite est inconnu ! Monnaie de la plus grande rareté et du plus grand intérêt numismatique.

The reverse, meanwhile, is similar to the trident series, but a symbol on the right is unknown! A coin of the greatest rarity and numismatic interest

Historical background
HOARD OF TAYAC - GIRONDE
This hoard was discovered at Tayac, in the Gironde department, in November 1893. It consisted of torques broken in two, a spirally wound gold wire, 73 small ingots described as coin blanks (weighing 7.60 grams), gold ingots (of various shapes and weights), but most importantly, 325 staters. The composition was estimated to be approximately four-fifths Arvernian staters (actually Aedui, and of uncertain Western origin) and one-fifth Bellovaci staters (actually staters with broad flans from the Ambiani). Unfortunately, \"as many pieces have been melted down,\" it is difficult to provide a precise composition and distribution. \"The Bordeaux Museum acquired, in addition to the torques, two small ingots, two unstruck coins, two coins struck on one side only, ten Arvernian coins, and one Bellovaci coin.\" A. Blanchet, who describes this find on pages 561 and 562 of his Treatise, was able to examine some coins from this find that Messrs. Rollin and Feuardent had in their hands....
