Commentary
Bien que peu d'exemplaires aient été publiés, il semblerait que ce potin circule principalement autour de chez les Bituriges. Les auteurs du Nouvel Atlas le classent dans le groupe des "potins de la Loire moyenne".
(cf. MONNAIES XV, page 106 pour la première publication de ce potin en 1837).

Historical background
CENTER, UNSPECIFIED
(1st century BC)
Under this term were gathered all the coins which are not attributed or attributable to a hypothetical center, "soft belly" of Gaul. The coins are very disparate and the attributions risky. One day perhaps, will we return to such a quarter of a stater at the Leuques or the Séquanes (Centre-East) or at the Bituriges Cubes or the Carnutes ("Centre-Centre") or even at the Pictons or the Lémovices (Centre-West) ? For the moment, an attribution to the Center which has no geographical, political or historical reality makes it possible to evacuate a certain number of insoluble attribution problems.
