Description
GAUL - CELTIC Normandy (Normandy group). Hemistater, sword type, class IV, featuring a ship and a sword, ND (220–150 BC). Obverse. Apollonian profile with laurel wreath to the right, with intertwined locks of hair; a gladius, the tip to the left, beneath the neck. Reverse: A horse facing right, surmounted by a charioteer brandishing a boat. Beneath the horse, a sword pointing to the left. In front of the horse, a long wavy cord ending in a spike. A symbol beneath the horse’s tail. Remains of the legend ‘Philippe’ beneath the ground line. DT.2045 - LT.6927; Gold - 4.05 g - 16.5 mm - 4 h Believed to come from a J.-C. Barthélémy sale, November 1979 catalogue, lot no. 26. Of exceptional quality and even more beautiful than the MDC 16 no. 259 specimen (€36,000 + fees)! Very slightly concave, this specimen is in high relief and has never been in circulation. It features all its details and is well centred. The patina is golden. Superb, in mint condition. https://d10dakqizeg4uw.cloudfront.net/VAE19/332.mp4
