| 正面描述 | Two animals facing one another in confronted arrangement, identified as goats, with an annulet positioned centrally between their heads. The design is enclosed within a peripheral beaded border, with additional beading framing the composition. The style is characteristic of late Iron Age Gaulish cotin coinage, rendered in a schematic and abstract manner typical of cast production. |

The Suessiones occupied territory around modern-day Soissons in northern Gaul and were among the more politically significant tribes of the Belgic confederation — Caesar rated their king Diviciacus as having once held dominion over much of Britain as well as Gaul, a claim that suggests an unusually centralized power structure for the region. Their potin coinage, cast rather than struck, places production somewhere in the late La Tène period when Roman monetary influence was encroaching but had not yet displaced indigenous alloy traditions.
Class III distinguishes this type within the Suessiones potin sequence by specific compositional and morphological criteria catalogued by Delestrée and Tache. The casting seams are often visible on surviving examples.
