Potin with leaping lion TOC / TOC

Beschrijving voorzijde	Stylised head of a warrior or deity facing right, wearing a crested helmet with exaggerated, schematic rendering typical of Gallo-Belgic potin coinage. The facial features are boldly rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition, with a pronounced nose and chin. The inscription TOC appears in the right field, composed of individual letter elements arranged around the portrait. The surface bears the characteristic dull grey-green patina of cast potin alloy.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A lion leaping or galloping to the left, rendered in a vigorous, stylised Celtic manner with exaggerated musculature and a flowing, curvilinear tail raised above the body. The mane is depicted with schematic scrollwork and the limbs are shown in full extension, conveying dynamic movement. A crescent device appears in the lower field beneath the animal. The inscription TOC is visible in the lower right field. The border consists of a beaded or pellet ring, consistent with Sequanian potin issues of the late La Tène period.
