Commentary
Dans MONNAIES 41, le n° 1623, de qualité inférieure et moins complet s’est vendu 330€ sur ordre 350, avec 5 ordres.
Ce type de potin est traditionnellement attribué aux Helvètes ; c’est l’un des deux types de potin helvètes.
Ces potins sont encore mal connus, mais certains exemplaires ont un trait horizontal joignant les deux jambes du cheval, d’autres ont des globules au-dessus de la queue ; cet exemplaire a ces deux particularités !
Les auteurs du Nouvel Atlas précisent que “les provenances de ce type se situent essentiellement en Suisse de l'Ouest et du Nord-Ouest”.

Historical background
SEQUANI - HELVETII, Unspecified (Currently Switzerland)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
These two peoples were neighbors and a certain number of coins, particularly staters and quarter staters of electrum from the first century BC, are simultaneously attributed to them. The coin found in Avenches (east of Lake Neuchâtel), of a so-called sequana coinage, illustrates this phenomenon. Gossip of the La Tène type also belongs to this group!.
