| Beschrijving voorzijde | Male head facing right, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic style characteristic of Gaulish bronze coinage of the late Republican period. The hair is depicted in stylized strands or pellets radiating from the crown, with a broad, simplified facial treatment. The legend TVRONOS is inscribed in Latin characters arcing around the right side of the field. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered Celtic production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull standing to the right, rendered in the characteristic schematic style of Gaulish bronze coinage, with a pronounced hump and boldly modeled legs. A horizontal exergual line divides the design, with the legend TRICCOS inscribed in Latin characters in the lower register beneath the bull. The upper field contains the animal figure with traces of pellets or decorative elements in the surrounding field. The overall composition follows the standard type of the Turoni tribe's bronze issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Turoni occupied the Touraine region of central Gaul, centered on what is now Tours, and their bronze coinage circulated during a period of increasing Roman pressure culminating in Caesar's Gallic Wars. The inscription TVRONOS TRICCOS — readable as "the Turonian people of Triccos" — is one of the more explicit ethnic self-identifications surviving on Gaulish bronze, and the town name Triccos is otherwise poorly attested in the ancient record.
Bronze issues of this type are frequently found in degraded condition due to the alloy composition favored by Armorican and Loire-valley tribes. The DT#3510 classification places it firmly within a recognizable regional series, though die linkage studies remain incomplete.
