Commentary
Ce type de potin aurait deux aires de circulation distinctes ; le centre de la Gaule et le sud de l'Angleterre, alors que les "prototypes" circulèrent dans la région marseillaise.
Ce lot de trois potins illustre la dégénérescence, du potin avec MA encore visible au potin très stylisé, presque globulaire.

Historical background
CENTER, UNSPECIFIED
(1st century BC)
Under this term were gathered all the coins which are not attributed or attributable to a hypothetical center, "soft belly" of Gaul. The coins are very disparate and the attributions risky. One day perhaps, will we return to such a quarter of a stater at the Leuques or the Séquanes (Centre-East) or at the Bituriges Cubes or the Carnutes ("Centre-Centre") or even at the Pictons or the Lémovices (Centre-West) ? For the moment, an attribution to the Center which has no geographical, political or historical reality makes it possible to evacuate a certain number of insoluble attribution problems.
