| 表面の説明 | Highly stylized and strongly degenerated human effigy facing left, the head adorned with a headband or diadem. The facial features are rendered in a schematic Celtic manner, with a pronounced, exaggerated nose and a bifid or forked neck treatment. A lock of hair sweeps backward from the crown, a characteristic decorative convention of late La Tène coinage. The overall style reflects the progressive abstraction typical of Aeduan potin issues of this period. |

| 裏面の説明 | A bull advancing to the right, rendered in the abstracted La Tène artistic style, positioned above an exergue line. The tail is raised and terminates in a distinctive torc- or omega-shaped curl, a hallmark typological feature of this Aeduan potin series. The body of the bull is rendered with the bold, simplified forms characteristic of Gaulish cast coinage, with minimal ground-line detail below the figure. |

The Aedui occupied a peculiar position in late Republican Gaul — nominally "brothers and kinsmen of the Roman people" by senatorial declaration, yet minting their own coinage in volume right through Caesar's campaigns that swept across their territory beginning in 58 BC. Potin, a low-tin bronze alloy, was the workhorse metal for Gallic small change, and Aeduan issues of this type circulated heavily across the Saône valley. The casting rather than striking of potin flans produces the characteristically rough surfaces that define the type.
