Beschrijving keerzijde Stylized quadruped, rendered in a schematic Celtic manner, charging to the left with legs extended in a running posture. The elongated neck of the animal is clearly articulated, consistent with the typological designation of this series. A plain ground line runs horizontally beneath the animal, defining the lower register of the design. The musculature and body are reduced to bold, abstracted forms characteristic of Late Iron Age Gaulish coinage. No inscription or legend is present.

Aanvullende informatie

Potin — a cast tin-bronze alloy — was never struck from dies in the conventional sense; these pieces were produced in clay or stone moulds, often in connected strips that were snapped apart, leaving the characteristic irregular flan edges seen on most survivors. The "long-necked" type takes its name from a modern typological convention, not any ancient designation. Attribution to specific Rhone Valley tribes remains contested, with no surviving literary or epigraphic source confirming the issuing authority.
