Commentary


Concernant le métal de ce quart, parfois en bon or jaune, les auteurs du Nouvel Atlas précisent que ce quart est certainement la plus ancienne des monnaies de la série de Crainvilliers, statère et quarts confondus.
Le croissant du revers se retrouve sur d’autres monnaies qui se sont certainement inspirées de ce monnayage séquano-helvète....

Historical background


SEQUANI - HELVETII, Unspecified (Currently Switzerland)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

These two peoples were neighbors and a certain number of coins, particularly staters and quarter staters of electrum from the first century BC, are simultaneously attributed to them. The coin found in Avenches (east of Lake Neuchâtel), of a so-called sequana coinage, illustrates this phenomenon. Gossip of the La Tène type also belongs to this group!.
