| Aversbeschreibung | Upright bird facing right at left, grasping a fish or small animal in its talons, the prey depicted facing outward toward the viewer. The composition is rendered in the schematic, stylized manner characteristic of Belgic potin coinage. Annulets with central pellets are scattered throughout the field. The flan is irregular with a beaded border visible along the periphery. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Two confronted bulls standing upright and facing one another, rendered in the highly stylized, abstract idiom typical of late La Tène Belgic potin issues. The bodies of the animals are schematically portrayed with limbs reduced to geometric forms. Annulets with central pellets are distributed across the field, and a beaded border frames the composition at the periphery. |

The Meldi occupied the Marne valley northeast of Lutetia, and their coinage was struck during the decade when Caesar's campaigns were systematically dismantling Belgic tribal autonomy. Potin — a cast tin-bronze alloy rather than struck metal — was the preferred monetary medium across much of Belgica precisely because it required no dies, no trained celators, and no mint infrastructure that Roman forces might seize or destroy.
DT 213A is distinguished from the closely related LT 7602 classification by subtle typological differences that remain debated among specialists. Cast potin flans from this region frequently show seam marks from the clay molds.
