| Aversbeschreibung | Stylized male bust facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic La Tène artistic tradition with flowing, rope-like hair strands radiating outward from the head. The facial features are schematically rendered, with a prominent eye and simplified facial contours. The legend CATAL appears in the field before the bust, serving as a tribal or magistrate identifier. The coin's flan is irregular and the relief is bold, consistent with late Gaulish bronze coinage of the Carnutes tribe. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Carnutes occupied the region around modern Chartres and Orléans, and their territory held particular religious significance as the annual gathering place of the Gaulish druids — a detail recorded by Caesar in the Gallic Wars. Their potin issues, cast rather than struck, were produced during precisely the decades Caesar was dismantling Gaulish political autonomy, making the survival of a functioning tribal monetary system into the late first century BC something of an archaeological surprise.
Potin casting technology in this region drew on earlier La Tène traditions; the alloy's high tin content distinguishes Carnutes issues from the bronze coinages of neighboring tribes.
