| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized, Celticized horse depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage. Above the horse, a star motif within an annulet accompanied by ring-pellets occupies the upper field. The abbreviated legend VOSI appears below the horse, identifying the issuing authority as Vosenos, a ruler or moneyer associated with the Cantii of southeastern Britain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii, occupying what is now Kent, were among the tribes Caesar described firsthand in his Gallic War accounts — unusually well-documented by Roman standards for a British group. Vosenos is one of a handful of named Cantian rulers whose coins survive, though almost nothing beyond the coinage itself confirms his existence. Whether he ruled independently or alongside other named contemporaries like Eppillus remains unresolved.
The fractional weight reflects a deliberate reduction from earlier Cantian stater traditions, likely tied to shifting trade values in the decades immediately preceding Roman conquest.
