Beschrijving keerzijde A bull charging to the left, rendered in schematized Celtic style with a compact, powerfully muscled body. Above the bull's back, a circular or lunate symbol is visible in the upper field, a common secondary device on Turoni potin issues. The design is set within a plain raised border, and the flan surface retains the characteristic rough texture of a cast potin piece. No inscription or legend is present.

Aanvullende informatie

The Turoni occupied the territory around the Liger (Loire) valley, and their potin issues — cast rather than struck — place them among the tribes whose coinage production predates significant Roman disruption in central Gaul. The "Class II" designation distinguishes a later degenerative phase of this type, where the imagery has abstracted considerably from earlier prototypes, a progression well-documented across Gaulish potin series as die-cutters worked increasingly from copies of copies rather than original models.

The DT#3509 variant attribution and absence from Latour's corpus suggests a subtype identified after the major reference works were compiled — not unusual for Turoni potin, where the cast nature of production generated considerable variability between individual pieces.
