Profile / head to the right, crescent-shaped cheek, prominent nose and chin. Two rows of hair surround the face, the first in an encircled half-moon shape surrounds the face, the second consisting of flame-like locks, elongated and encircled. In front of the profile, a hollowed crescent shape., Androcephalic horse (helmeted?) to the right, surmounted by a stylized charioteer (helmeted?), holding the reins with his right hand and brandishing a pearled torque with his left. A crescent-shaped volute emerges from the horse's mouth. Below, a hand set on a yoke-shaped bracket., This division of the stater serie “à la main” (with the hand), attributed to the Picto-santones, is in a very fine state of preservation. It belongs to Class A9 in L-P Délestrée's categorization. Like the staters of the Group A, it seems that their provenances correspond principally to the territory of the Pictones rather than the Santones' territory.
