| Aversbeschreibung | Obverse field decorated with abstract geometric motifs rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition, featuring a triskele — a three-armed rotational symbol — executed in low relief against a plain silver field. The design incorporates curvilinear elements and pellets, typical of Gaulish Celtic coinage of the Cadurci tribe. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the aniconic coinage of this Gaulish people. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of hand-struck Celtic silver issues. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Reverse field bearing a bulleted cross dividing the die into four quadrants, confined within the lower portion of a large concave axe-shaped design hollowed to the left. The first and fourth quarters each contain a central pellet, while the overall composition retains the abstract, stylised geometry characteristic of Cadurci silver coinage. The design shows deliberate, though irregular, die-cutting typical of late Gaulish hammered issues. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Cadurci were a Gallic people of the Quercy region — the territory around modern Cahors — who maintained enough political cohesion through the first century BC to produce a recognizable coinage tradition well into the period of Roman conquest. Caesar mentions them in the Gallic Wars; their chief Lucterius allied with Vercingetorix at Gergovia in 52 BC and continued guerrilla resistance into 51 BC, one of the last Gallic leaders still fighting after Alesia fell.
The triskele motif on this series has clear connections to Atlantic Celtic iconographic traditions, suggesting trade or cultural contact reaching well beyond the Cadurci's immediate geographic range.
