| Beschrijving voorzijde | Blank or nearly plain convex flan exhibiting the characteristic smoothed, undecorated surface typical of Celtic quarter stater planchets. The obverse shows no intentional design, retaining only the natural hammered texture of the gold flan, consistent with the uninscribed obverse tradition of Cantian coinage of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylized, Celticized horse advancing to the left, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of Cantian coinage. A prominent 'V'-shaped device is depicted above the horse, while a hatched or cross-hatched square panel occupies the area below. Pellets are scattered throughout the field, serving as decorative fill elements common to British Celtic coinage of the late first century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the southeastern corner of Britain — roughly modern Kent — and were among the tribes Caesar described firsthand during his expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. These fractional gold pieces were struck in the final decades before the Claudian conquest fundamentally reorganized the region's political economy. The 'H' classification within Evans's typological grouping reflects a stylistic divergence from related Cantian issues, likely indicating a distinct workshop or issuing authority within the tribe rather than a unified mint.
