| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare, completely smooth bald head depicted in left profile, the cranium rendered without hair or ornament. A hollow incised line bisects the neck vertically at its center, a characteristic stylistic feature of this Leuci cast potin type. The portraiture is schematic and strongly Celtic in artistic convention, with summary facial features typical of late La Tène coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Leuci occupied territory in what is now the Lorraine region of northeastern France, and their coinage reflects a tribe situated at a cultural crossroads between the Belgic north and the more Mediterranean-influenced Gaulish south. Potin — a cast alloy of copper, tin, and lead — was the medium of choice for low-denomination exchange across much of eastern Gaul, and the Leuci relied on it heavily rather than striking precious-metal types.
Cast rather than struck, meaning individual pieces show seam lines and surface irregularities that are features of the manufacturing method, not damage.
