Potin with boar Class Ie

The Leuci occupied territory in what is now Lorraine, centered around the Moselle valley, and maintained enough political cohesion to issue their own coinage well into the period of Roman encroachment. Potin — a cast alloy of copper, tin, and lead — was the preferred medium for low-denomination exchange among several Gaulish peoples, and the Leuci relied on it almost exclusively. Their issues are not struck but cast, typically in linked strips or chains pulled from clay moulds, which accounts for the irregular flan edges common to the type.

DT#225 sits in a tightly defined classificatory cluster; Class Ie distinguishes it from related Leuci emissions by specific stylistic degeneration traceable across die generations.
