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 bronze n’est pas classable précisément ; le centrage ne permet pas de restituer la légende ou l’absence de légende devant le visage... La légende de revers, souvent mal venue, est censée être LOGGOSTA-LETON (BIURBI).
This type of bronze is related to Trans-Pyrenean Celtiberian coinage. The prototype is certainly to be found in the tripod bronzes of Marseille. This bronze cannot be classified precisely; the centering does not make it possible to restore the legend or the absence of legend in front of the face... The legend on the reverse, often unwelcome, is supposed to be LOGGOSTA-LETON (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".
