| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two confronting animals, identified as goats, facing one another with a central annulet positioned between their heads. The composition is enclosed within a peripheral beaded border, with additional beading framing the design. The style is characteristic of late La Tène Celtic cast coinage, with schematic, stylized animal forms typical of the Suessiones tribe. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Suessiones controlled territory in the Aisne valley, their capital at Noviodunum — likely modern Soissons — placing them squarely in the region Julius Caesar described as among the most powerful of the Belgic tribes. This potin was almost certainly in circulation during or immediately before the Gallic Wars, when Caesar systematically subdued the Belgae between 57 and 51 BC. The Suessiones capitulated to Rome relatively early, in 57 BC, sparing their territory from the prolonged devastation visited on tribes that resisted longer.
Potin alloys of this period vary considerably in tin content, affecting both color and long-term surface stability — which explains the wide range of patination quality seen across surviving examples of DT#211.
