Potin with bald head

正面描述	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.

附加信息	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.
