Coin, Namnetes, Area of Nantes, 1/4 Stater "à l'hippophore" type, 80-50 BC, AU(55-58), Gold, Delestrée:2193, Profile to right, of Apollonian origin, without crest; hair composed of flame-like locks outward and a row of crescent-shaped locks around the face. On the cheek, a beaded ring centered with a pellet (sometimes called “rosette” or “beaded crown”)., Androcephalic horse to the right, surmounted by a charioteer, holding the reins in his right hand and raising his left hand. In front of the horse, an unknown symbol (pelleted cross?).Below, a hippophoric figure facing, head to the right, arms outstretched and holding a curved object (a blade?) in his right hand., Graded NGC Ch XF★ Strike: 4/5 Surface: 5/5. Extremely rare quarter stater, of remarkable condition for the type, perfectly centered and very well struck with many details. Delestrée specifies in his publication that these quarter staters cannot be linked to any series of hippophoric figure staters. It should be noted here that the symbol on the obverse, in front of the horse, could remind the symbols visible on the staters of Cenomani coinage, which are assimilated to banners. Almost not visible and mostly out of the blank, it remains undetermined, but a variation of the banner could correspond. Delestrée 2193; Latour 6724 (pl. XXI); S. Scheers, 1982, BSFN no. 6, pl. p. 83, no. 13. NGC Zertifikats-Nummer: 6645085-001
