Commentary
La partie centrale du revers, sur le lourd corps du taureau, est marquée par un globule. La tête du droit ne semble plus être laurée.
The central part of the reverse, on the heavy body of the bull, is marked by a globule. The head of the obverse no longer appears to be laureate.

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.
