Below the horse, a reclining winged figure to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"comment\"\u003eThis quarter stater is quite atypical compared to other coins in the same series featuring the “small bare head” (\"à la petite tête nue). Very similar in style to Dt. 2129, it differs in the absence of the triangle made of three globules above the head.  This is most likely a variety of the three divisional coins in this series: Dt. 2128, 29, and 30, examples where the representations on the obverse and reverse are positioned to the right. The portrait is not quite in the style of example 2128, and the reverse is not precise enough to be considered as 2130. \nIt is not uncommon to identify subtle stylistic variations in the engravings when studying Celtic coinage divisional coins, but it is always of particular interest because examples of Gallic stater divisional coins are very rare and generally known from only one or a few examples, as here where the quarter staters linked to Veneti coinage and grouped under these three references are known from only a dozen or so examples.\nDelestrée 2128-2130 ; Latour 6838 (pl.
