| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized Celtic male head facing right, rendered in the characteristically abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, deeply incised flowing locks and pellet-tipped curls radiating from the crown, with a prominent wreath or diadem encircling the head. The facial features — eye represented by a prominent circular pellet, pronounced cheek, and open mouth — are highly schematized, derived from a Macedonian prototype. The field is plain and unlettered, consistent with early Belgic coinage practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Leuci occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Lorraine, centered on what is now Toul. Their gold staters derive ultimately from the Macedonian gold stater of Philip II, which filtered westward through successive generations of Celtic imitation until the original figurative design dissolved into the abstract swirls and pellets characteristic of Belgic issues. DT#143 sits well into that degenerative sequence.
As a tribal issue, production almost certainly preceded and then collapsed under the Caesarian campaigns of 57–51 BC, which systematically dismantled the economic independence of Belgic communities. Few Leucan pieces enter the market from documented hoards.
