Stylized horse leaping right, charioteer above horse; under the horse, a boar ensign turned to the right; a beaded and pointed ringlet in front of the chest.
Comment
This type of boar lapel with the beaded and pointed ringlet is the direct prototype of the LT 7021 bronze, with a more stylized charioteer and the addition of a ringlet pointed in front of the horse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, including boars and a beaded ringlet, which were likely used to represent the cultural and religious beliefs of the Aulerci Eburovices tribe in Gallia Armorica. The use of electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, adds to the coin's value and historical significance.
