LT. missing - DT.2508A - Gäumann 184; Potin - 2.5 g - 19.5 mm - 9 h
MP specimen No. 115 in the book “Surréelles Monnaies Gauloises,” by Samuel Gouet and Marc Petit—acquired from CGB in 2006, MONNAIES 26, No. 671.
Potin with very fine relief on this type, which often suffers from casting defects. Gray-green patina on the raised areas and an ochre hue in the recesses. Very Good to Superb.
This type takes its name from the sanctuary of Bû, near Dreux (Eure-et-Loir). As early as 2004, the *Nouvel Atlas* already listed at least 16 examples from Les Osmeaux near Dreux. The classification of this *potin* into two varieties depends on the presence of globules between the strands of hair. By examining numerous specimens, it is possible to refine the classification; some specimens have globules only between the two upper strands, while others have them only between the two lower strands. The reverse appears more consistent, except for the cross in the lower right corner, which is sometimes absent (probably due to a misplacement or a clogged mold). It is particularly noteworthy that this type is found in the Câtillon II hoard (no. 12779).
