| Aversbeschreibung | Schematized bust of a helmeted head facing left, rendered in a characteristic Gaulish La Tène artistic style with bold, rounded volumes. The head is depicted in profile within a raised circular border, with the helmet suggested by a sweeping crescent-shaped arc above the skull. The facial features are summarily modelled, with a pronounced nose and vestigial chin visible, reflecting the abstract Celtic treatment of the human effigy. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of cast potin coinage, with the design confined within a plain raised rim. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Stylized animal, most likely a boar or bull, depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the highly schematized and abstracted manner characteristic of Gaulish potin coinage of the Senones tribe. The body is formed by bold, flowing curves with limbs reduced to summary appendages, consistent with the La Tène decorative vocabulary. A rosette or pellet motif appears in the field, serving as the secondary design element referenced in the coin's type name. The design is contained within a plain raised circular border on an irregularly shaped cast flan. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Senones occupied a territory centered on modern-day Sens in northern Burgundy, and their potin coinage reflects a tribe that had already seen catastrophic displacement — a branch of the Senones had sacked Rome in 390 BC, and Caesar's campaigns of 52 BC effectively ended their political independence. Potin itself, a lead-tin-bronze alloy cast rather than struck, was a distinctly Gallic monetary solution, produced by pouring molten metal into clay or stone moulds in linked chains.
Cast flan surfaces on this type frequently retain mould-seam traces along the edges.
