| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly schematized boar-sign oriented to the right, rendered in the abstract geometric style typical of Senones tribal coinage. Beneath the boar, three pellets are arranged in a triangular formation serving as a distinctive identifying device for this type. The overall design is bold and low in relief, consistent with the cast production technique, with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Senones occupied territory in what is now the Yonne and Loiret departments of north-central Gaul, and are best known to ancient historians as the tribe that sacked Rome around 390 BC — a humiliation the Romans never quite forgot. By the first century BC, when these potins were circulating, the Senones had rebuilt as a significant regional power, though Julius Caesar's campaigns would effectively end their political autonomy by 52 BC. Potin casting, rather than striking, was the dominant production method for low-value coinage across much of central Gaul during this period, and the Senones used it extensively.
LT 7445 is well-documented in the corpus of Gaulish coinage, with find concentrations clustering around Sens, the ancient Agedincum and principal Senonian oppidum.
