Commentary
Il semblerait que ce "potin" soit une imitation, peut-être par les Ambiens. La tête est très particulière avec son nez bouleté et son œil formé d'un globule entouré d'un arc de cercle. Les articulations des pattes du sangliers sont également marquées par un globule. L'ensemble est beaucoup plus stylisé que les potins habituels de ce type.
It seems that this \\\"gossip\\\" is an imitation, perhaps by the Ambiens. The head is very distinctive with its rounded nose and its eye formed by a globule surrounded by an arc of a circle. The joints of the boars' legs are also marked by a globule. The whole is much more stylized than the usual gossip of this type.

Historical background
HIGH AND MIDDLE SEINE
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Under this term are brought together two large distinct but homogeneous groups, and an isolated potin. A few years ago, all of these coins would have been attributed to the Leuques without a shadow of hesitation. It is the systematic reclassification of emissions that now makes it possible to provide a different hypothesis.
