| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing left in the Gallo-Belgic artistic tradition, rendered with schematic, deeply cast features typical of late La Tène Celtic coinage. The hair is depicted as a series of rounded, pellet-like or rope-textured locks radiating from the crown, framing a broad, flattened face. The eye is rendered as a prominent raised pellet, and the nose and chin are boldly modeled in low relief. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription, consistent with the aniconic coinage conventions of the Leuci tribe. |

| 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.
