Description: | A French Iron Age quarter stater dating from the first half of the first century BC and attributed to the Aulerci Cenomani.Philip de Jersey comments - the most recent catalogue reference is Delestree and Tache's 'Nouvel Atlas des Monnaies Gauloises', vol. II (2004), reference DT 2156, type "au personnage aptere aux deux armes". The coin is extremely rare - even on the continent. - Nine provenanced examples in Armorica were recorded in 1994, and Delestree and Tache make the comment that the quarter staters of the Cenomani are "fort rares", with only one quarter stater found with 150+ staters in the Le Mans hoard of 1997. In my gazetteer of Armorican finds from Britain published in 1997 I had three Cenomani staters, but no quarters, and I don't imagine that has changed much more recently.
