Beschrijving voorzijde Stylized diademed head facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition. The hair is indicated by three distinct locks, and the neck is articulated by a series of oblique dashes. The eye is rendered as a void or pellet surrounded by a raised ringlet positioned on the cheek, a characteristic feature of Leuci potin coinage. The overall treatment is deliberately rough, reflecting the cast production technique.

Aanvullende informatie

The Leuci occupied territory in what is now Lorraine, centered around the Moselle valley, and maintained enough political independence to strike their own coinage well into the late Gaulish period. Potin — a cast tin-lead-copper alloy rather than struck metal — was the dominant monetary medium among several Belgic and eastern Gaulish peoples, and the Leuci Class I series is among the more consistently produced regional types. Julius Caesar names the Leuci explicitly in the *Bellum Gallicum* as a people subject to the Treveri's influence, which places this coinage squarely within a politically volatile frontier zone during the Gallic Wars.
