| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized boar or bull depicted in profile moving to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic La Tène manner with a pronounced arched back and exaggerated bristled mane or dorsal crest. The animal's powerful haunches and forelegs are summarily indicated by broad, rounded relief forms. A thin ground line runs beneath the figure, and additional linear elements frame the lower field. The design fills the flan with bold, simplified forms characteristic of Sequanian cast potin coinage. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sequani occupied the territory of modern Franche-Comté and were persistent rivals of the Aedui throughout the late republican period, at one point inviting Ariovistus and his Germanic forces into Gaul — a decision that accelerated the very Roman intervention that ended Gaulish independence. Their potin coinage belongs to a tradition of cast alloy issues produced across eastern and central Gaul when access to silver was inconsistent or controlled by competing tribes.
The "without neck" variant distinguishes this piece from the more common necked type, a die distinction catalogued separately as DT#3088A.
