| Additional information |
The Leuci were a Belgic people settled in the upper Moselle basin, roughly modern Lorraine, and their potin issues are among the more localized of Gaulish cast coinages — distributed across a tight tribal territory rather than through broad inter-tribal exchange networks. The sanglier type appears in several classified varieties, and the DT#226 designation places this piece within a subgroup distinguished by specific treatment of the animal figure and field elements that diverge enough from the LT#9044 core type to warrant the variant notation.
Potin casting rather than striking means die-linked sequences don't apply; fabric and alloy consistency across examples has been used to argue for relatively controlled, centralized production rather than ad hoc local casting.
