Commentary
Ce quart de statère relativement lourd laisse présager un type ancien, proche des prototypes grecs. Vraisemblablement originaire de l’Est ou du Centre de la France.
Avec l’association avers et revers à droite, et ce type de grosse tête, cette monnaie semble correspondrait au n° 31 (cf. 16-31) de la Revue Suisse n° 53.

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!.
