| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic boar rendered in high relief, depicted in profile facing left, with distinctive curved spine, prominent haunch, and schematized limbs rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. The animal is surrounded by abstract decorative elements including pellets and curved line motifs filling the field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck Celtic potin or bronze coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
The Aulerci Eburovices, a Belgic tribe settled in the region around present-day Évreux in Normandy, minted bronze fractions during the mid-first century BC under mounting pressure from Caesar's Gallic campaigns. Their coinage output contracted sharply after 52 BC as Roman military and economic dominance restructured tribal exchange networks across northern Gaul.
LT 7021 is documented in de la Tour's foundational atlas of Gaulish coinage, one of the few reference points anchoring this otherwise sparsely documented series.
