Comment
This Potin is still very little known; although appearing in Gaümann and in Patat, it is still as little documented. H. Patat proposes an attribution to the Aedui.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Potin "Type of Mâlain" (100 BC - 20 BC) from Aedui (Gallia Celtica) weighing 2.7 g is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman elements. The coin's design includes a stylized horse and rider on one side, and a stylized Roman fasces and crescent on the other. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Aedui tribe, who were known for their diplomatic and military alliances with the Roman Republic during the Gallic Wars.
