Well-measured billon in silver, 6.4 grams. Region of Corseul, Côtes d'Armor. The S were an Armorican people, settled in what is now the department of Côtes-d'Armor. They had neighbors such as the Osismii, the Veneti, the Namnetes, and the Redones. They were a seafaring people, with their main port seemingly being Alet.

Their name is still preserved today in that of Corseul. They played an important role in trade with insular Brittany, participated in the campaign of 57 BC, and were subdued by Crassus.

The following year, they again took part in the revolt of the Armoricans under the leadership of the Veneti, alongside the Unelles and the Lexovii, all crushed by Caesar. In 52 BC, they participated in the contingent of twenty thousand men that the Armoricans sent to relieve Vercingetorix, besieged in Alesia. Coins from collections, shop sales, or auction sites.
