| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse or ibex rendered in a highly abstracted Celtic style, moving to the left with a distinctive bifurcated or forked tail rising behind. The animal's body is schematically depicted with simplified limbs, consistent with Gaulish potin coinage conventions. Beneath the body, between the legs, appears a ringlet motif, which occurs in two known varieties: a solid pointed annulet (annelet pointé) and an open or empty annulet (annelet vide). No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Senones occupied a swath of central Gaul roughly corresponding to modern Seine-et-Marne and Loiret, and their potin coinage was in active production during the years Caesar was systematically dismantling Gaulish resistance. Potin — a cast tin-lead-bronze alloy rather than a struck metal — was the workhorse small change of northern and central Gaul, cheap to produce and apparently acceptable across tribal boundaries. The date range here brackets the revolt of Vercingetorix and the catastrophic siege of Alesia in 52 BC, after which independent Gaulish monetary production effectively ceased.
