Commentary
Le revers de cet exemplaire est proche du DT. 2625 avec la petite triskèle au revers.
Avec un poids de 5,10g, il semble que ce soit l’exemplaire le plus lourd de cette série !.
The reverse of this example is similar to DT. 2625 with the small triskelion on the reverse. Weighing 5.10g, this appears to be the heaviest example in this series!

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.
