| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized anthropomorphic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic schematic Celtic manner. The facial features are boldly articulated, with prominent brow ridges, large eyes, and an exaggerated, grimacing expression lending the effigy a demonic or apotropaic quality. The hair or surrounding elements are indicated by sweeping curved lines framing the face. No legend or inscription is present in the field. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with cast potin production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Turoni occupied the Touraine region along the Loire, and their potin output belongs to a broader tradition of base-metal casting — not striking — that spread through Armorican and central Gaulish tribes during the late second and first centuries BC. Potin flans were typically cast in clay molds in linked chains, then snapped apart, which is why edge irregularities on these pieces are the rule rather than the exception.
Caesar's campaigns through Gaul in the 50s BC devastated Turoni tribal structure, and coin production appears to have collapsed sharply in their aftermath. Examples from the later end of this date range are notably cruder in execution.
