Obv. Laureate head left.
Rev. Horse prancing left; "Kerykeion" above.
D/T 3117.

Rare. Good very fine.

Although Voluntilus' name is missing on this coin, the type with the Kerykeion above the horse indicates that it belonged to his coinage. 

Voluntilus was a chief of the Allobroges who attained his Roman citizenship from Pompey the Great, to whom he became a Client and took over his name.
