Commentary
Ce type de bronze est apparenté au monnayage celtibère transpyrénéen. Le prototype est certainement à rechercher dans les bronzes au trépied de Marseille.
Ce type précis, avec la légende LOYKOTIKNOC devant le visage correspond au n° 5 de L. Villaronga qui a étudié 16 exemplaires et classe ce type en R5. La légende de revers, souvent mal venue, est censée être LOGGOSTA-LETON et BIURBI.
This type of bronze is related to the trans-Pyrenean Celtiberian coinage. The prototype is certainly to be found in the tripod bronzes of Marseille. This precise type, with the legend LOYKOTIKNOC in front of the face corresponds to No. 5 of L. Villaronga who studied 16 examples and classifies this type in R5. The reverse legend, often inappropriate, is supposed to be LOGGOSTA-LETON and BIURBI

Historical background
GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - LONGOSTALETES (Area of Narbonne)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
This people who occupied most of the departments of Aude and Hérault is mentioned neither by Ptolemy, nor by Strabo, nor by Caesar. Their coinage is known to us only by the treasures of Béziers (Hérault) discovered in 1871 and which contained between 750 and 800 coins of Languedoc style as well as that of Moussan in the Aude, discovered in 1967 and which contained 28 drachmas of style " Languedocian".
