| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull charging to the left with tail raised, depicted in a vigorous, highly stylized manner consistent with Gaulish potin coinage of the La Tène period. The body is rendered in bold, flowing relief with simplified musculature, the legs indicated by schematic linear forms. A small globule appears in the lower field to the left of the animal. The composition fills the irregular flan with characteristic Celtic abstraction, with no legend or exergual inscription present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sequani occupied the territory around modern Besançon and were among the Gaulish tribes most deeply entangled in the power struggles preceding Caesar's Gallic Wars — it was the Sequani who first invited Ariovistus and his Germanic forces into Gaul, a decision that destabilized the region and gave Caesar his pretext for intervention after 58 BC. Potin coinage of this type was cast rather than struck, using molten alloy poured into clay or stone molds, which accounts for the surface texture that distinguishes these from struck bronzes.
The long production window reflects continued local circulation well into the period of Roman consolidation.
