Commentary
Cet exemplaire est très proche du bga_250767 avec les annelets au revers.
La classe III a un revers comparable à celui de la classe II, mais avec une tête à droite à l’avers. Les croissant laissent la place à un gros annelet pointé devant la bouche, entouré de deux ou trois plus petits annelets.
This specimen is very close to bga_250767 with the annulets on the reverse. Class III has a reverse comparable to that of Class II, but with a head to the right on the obverse. The crescents give way to a large annulet pointed in front of the mouth, surrounded by two or three smaller annulets.

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA PAGUS CATUSLUGI - Sanctuary of BOIS L'ABBÉ (Seine-Maritime)
(1st century BC)
Already in 1977, S. Scheers evoked the idea of a coinage of Pagus for the type VIIRICIVS (op. cit.p.129-130) which recalls the finds of the sanctuary of Bois l'Abbé in Eu (Seine-Maritime) (LPD. p.32-45) where 161 pieces of the 4 classes were discovered and analyzed. These coins, found in large quantities, doubtless constituted cash with a regional vocation (LPD. 1984, p. 65-92). A plaque found on the spot in 1965, near the theater evokes a pagus Catuslugi already mentioned by Pliny (HN. IV, 31).
