Commentary
Exemplaire de même coin de droit D1 que tous les autres exemplaires connus et de revers R2 que les n° 793 à 798 du Musée de Rouen, que le n° 953 du Musée de Lyon etc... Ce qui prouve une émission limitée dont il subsiste de nombreux exemplaires.
example with the same obverse die D1 as all other known examples and reverse R2 as nos. 793 to 798 from the Rouen Museum, as no. 953 from the Lyon Museum, etc. This proves a limited issue of which many examples remain.

Historical background
VELIOCASSES (Area of Norman Vexin)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Véliocasses, people of Belgian Gaul, lived in the Norman Vexin located in the current department of Seine-Maritime. Their neighbors were the Lexovians and the Aulerci Éburovices, with the Seine as their border, and on the other side the Parisii, the Calètes and the Bellovaques. They participated in the Belgian coalition of 57 BC, led by the Bellovaques and provided a contingent of ten thousand men. But in 52 BC, for the relief army to release Vercingetorix besieged in Alesia, they only gave three thousand men. The following year, in 51 BC, they took part for the last time in the coalition of the Belgians in revolt under the leadership of the Bellovaques. Their main oppidum was Rouen (Rotomagus). Caesar (BG. II, 4; VII, 75; VIII, 7); Pliny (HN. IV). Ptolemy (G. II, 8). Kruta: 366.
