Commentary
Ce potin était considéré comme unique en 1975 lorsque S. Scheers publiait la collection Danicourt à Péronne. Dans son ouvrage, A. Gaümann reprenait cet exemplaire. Si quelques exemplaires sont en collections privées, ce potin reste très rare. Sur certains exemplaires, mieux venus que la moyenne, il semblerait qu'il y ait un cavalier sur le cheval.
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.
