Interesting fact
The Potin coin with a bald head from Leuci (Gallia Belgica) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a human head with a balding crown, which was a rare feature in ancient coinage. This design choice may have been made to symbolize the coin's value or to honor a specific individual or deity. Additionally, the use of Potin, a tin-like metal, in the coin's production was a common practice in ancient Gaul, and the coin's weight of 3.59g is consistent with other coins of similar composition and era.
