| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bituriges Cubi occupied the territory around modern Bourges — Avaricum in Caesar's account — and their destruction by Roman forces in 52 BC during the Gallic Wars effectively ended independent coin production in the region. Issues like this one were almost certainly still circulating when Caesar ordered the town burned. The DT#3502 variant designation suggests a die combination not captured in Delestrée and Tache's primary corpus, which for Bituriges potin is already fragmentary.
