Commentary


Au droit, la tête est accostée de deux croissants. L'animal du revers n'a que les deux pattes avant ; il est encadré d'un croissant au-dessus et d'une triskèle au-dessous. Les potins de cette série sont très intéressants, d'autant plus qu'ils ne se trouvent qu'exceptionnellement en bel état. Ils sont pourtant très peu collectionnés. Exemplaire de poids particulièrement lourd.
On the obverse, the head is flanked by two crescents. The animal on the reverse has only two front legs; it is framed by a crescent above and a triskelion below. The gossip in this series is very interesting, especially since it is only exceptionally found in good condition. However, it is very rarely collected. A particularly heavy example

Historical background


MIDDLE LOIRE

(1st century BC)

The "so-called" degenerate crescent or crescent and triskele potin are imitations, perhaps copied from the passing bull potin (LT. 5284), formerly attributed to the Mandubians, is today reclassified as "central de Gaul". This potin is itself copied from the bronzes of Marseilles with the bull. The great diversity that can exist between different potin does not facilitate a recurring attribution. A solution could come to us from across the Channel once again. One of the examples in the Oxford museum from the collection of D. Allen is supposed to come from the camp of Amboise (Indre-et-Loire), in the Turons country. This type is reputed to come from the Chartres treasure (Blanchet, ABT. fig. 116). The maximalist "Middle Loire" attribution is valid, but not definitive.
