Commentary
Ce type s'apparente également aux potins au sanglier et à la tête humaine de face au revers, attribué précédemment aux Leuques et aujourd'hui classés aux monnaies incertaines de la Seine Moyenne.
This type is also related to the gossip with the boar and the human head on the reverse, previously attributed to the Leuques and today classified as uncertain coins of the Middle Seine
