| Reverse description | A stylized boar depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the characteristic schematic manner of Gallo-Belgic cast potin coinage. The animal's body is compact and elongated, with a pronounced arched dorsal ridge indicated by a row of raised spines or hatching. The legs are represented as simple, stubby protrusions beneath the body, and three small pellets or semicircles appear below, possibly representing exergual ornaments or ground line elements. The field is plain and uninscribed, and the overall design is bold and abstracted in keeping with late La Tène artistic conventions. |

| Additional information |
The Leuci were a Belgic tribe settled in what is now Lorraine, centered around the modern city of Toul — their name survives in its Latin form, Leucorum. Their potin coinage belongs to a broader tradition of cast alloy issues that spread through northeastern Gaul during the late second and early first centuries BC, largely replacing struck bronze for small-denomination exchange before Caesar's campaigns disrupted tribal monetary production across the region entirely.
