| 裏面の説明 | Highly schematized and degraded representation of a quadruped in motion, oriented to the right, occupying the central field. The animal's body is rendered in a minimal, almost abstract manner typical of late Gaulish potin issues, with only vestigial limbs and torso discernible. A crescent or arc motif appears in the upper field, consistent with the type designation. The entire design exhibits the characteristic flat, worn relief of cast potin coinage. The field is plain and uninscribed. |

The Turoni occupied the Touraine region of central Gaul — the territory around modern Tours — and their coinage reflects the fractured political conditions of the late pre-conquest period. Julius Caesar's campaigns of 58–50 BC swept through their lands, and coin production among Gaulish tribes either ceased abruptly or contracted sharply in the aftermath. Potin issues like this one, cast rather than struck, represent a low-cost alloy technology widely adopted across central and eastern Gaul when access to silver became unreliable.
DT 2622 is a cast potin, and cast flans routinely show surface porosity inherent to the production method — not damage.
