Comment
Class II would be the last of the coriosolite coinage according to K. Gruel's new chronology.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style eagle, symbolizing the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Gaul. This coin serves as a tangible representation of the complex historical context in which it was created.
