I've got four bronze pieces like this with not so distinct but definitely different reverses.
I was looking at Greek Massalia but have got nowhere.  Any thoughts please.  ;D
Many thanks.

NAMNÈTES (Region of Nantes)

Missing from La Tour.

The only Namnetes piece in the whole of the excellent CGB archive!  8)

And I've checked all four and now I know what I'm looking for, it would appear they're all horsemen  ::)
This is the earliest coin I've seen with a top hat featured  :o Circa C1 BC.
