Commentary
Ce type de potin avec le taureau à gauche est beaucoup plus rare. Ce type aurait inspiré les potins à la tête diabolique d’après les conclusions du docteur J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu.
This type of potin with the bull on the left is much rarer. This type is said to have inspired the potin with the devil's head, according to the conclusions of Doctor J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu.

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.
