| Additional information |
The Aulerci Eburovices occupied the territory around modern Évreux in Normandy, and their coinage reflects a tribe operating at the western edge of the dense Belgic minting zones. Potin — a cast tin-lead-bronze alloy rather than struck metal — was the workhorse currency of interior Gaul during this period, produced in volumes that suggest broad everyday use rather than prestige exchange. The heavy type designation within DT#3504 distinguishes this from lighter fabric variants of the same iconographic tradition, likely reflecting an earlier production phase before progressive weight reduction became standard practice across Gaulish potin issues.
