| Aversbeschreibung | Stylized bust facing left with a pronounced, massive neck rendered in the Celtic La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted in three or four boldly rising locks arranged above the head, executed in a schematic yet expressive manner characteristic of Gaulish potin coinage. The facial features are summarily rendered, with the eye and nose indicated by shallow relief elements. The overall design reflects the Celtic tendency toward abstraction derived from Hellenistic prototypes. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Sequani occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Franche-Comté and were among the most politically active Gallic tribes in the decades before Caesar's campaigns. Their alliance with the Arverni and the Germanic chieftain Ariovistus — who they had invited across the Rhine to help defeat the rival Aedui — ultimately destabilized the region enough to give Caesar his opening justification for intervention in 58 BC. These potin pieces circulated in precisely that charged moment.
Potin itself — a cast leaded bronze — was a characteristically northeastern Gallic monetary choice, distinct from the struck coinage favored further south and west.
