3D-rendered gold Gaulish stater showing an Apollonian profile on one side and a horse with a hippophore figure on the other.

A new 3D model inspired by a rare Gaulish stater of the Namnetes, featuring the distinctive hippophore genie design.

The obverse shows a stylized Apollonian profile with beaded cords and small human heads, while the reverse depicts an androcéphalous horse with a rider and the hippophore figure below. This remarkable coin reflects the visual language of late Iron Age Celtic coinage, where symbolism, identity, and abstraction merge into a powerful artistic form.

This model was digitally sculpted by arqreation as a reconstruction and reinterpretation of ancient numismatic heritage.
