Comment
These globular quarter staters are given to the Carnutes, or rather Senones. They are attached in the New Atlas to the well-known globular staters with the cross in relief, to form a class V.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Greek-style owl, symbolizing wisdom and insight. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the complex history of the Senones tribe, who were known for their interactions with Greek traders and their adoption of certain Greek customs and beliefs.
