| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bovine figure — an ox — depicted in profile facing right, with the head turned frontally toward the viewer in a distinctive three-quarter perspective. The animal is rendered in a robust, stylized Gaulish artistic tradition, with the body occupying the central field. A laurel wreath encircles the entire design, framing the ox within its borders. A vertical object, possibly a spear or standard, appears to the right of the animal. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the cast production technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Mediomatrici occupied territory centered on modern Metz, and their bronze coinage was still circulating during the final decades before Augustus reorganized Gallic monetary production under Roman oversight. The ARG AMBACT inscription — interpreted as a magistrate's name or title — is one of the few explicit legends surviving on Mediomatrici bronzes, making this series unusually legible within a broader corpus of anonymous tribal coinage.
Class I distinguishes this issue from later die progressions in the ox series, a typological refinement established through die-link studies rather than any documentary record.
