| Reverse description | A prominent dextrorotatory (clockwise-rotating) swastika motif dominates the central field, its four arms curving outward and terminating in tightly coiled volutes, each ending in a small globule. The design is executed in bold relief characteristic of cast potin production, with the swastika arms rendered as thick, rounded ridges. The motif is contained within a raised circular border with an irregular flan edge. This solar or apotropaic symbol is a well-attested reverse type among the cast potin issues of the Bituriges Cubi of central Gaul. |
