| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylised boar advancing left dominates the field, rendered in the abstracted Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage. A tree motif is depicted behind the boar, while a wreath appears above. Pellet-in-ring ornaments are positioned near the boar's tail and below the figure, with an additional isolated pellet near the tail, serving as typical Celtic decorative filler elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent — the landing zone for both Julius Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. That repeated Roman military pressure almost certainly disrupted Cantian coinage production and political structures significantly, making the precise dating of their bronze series difficult to anchor. The pentagram appears on several Celtic coinages across Britain and Gaul but its specific significance to the Cantii remains unresolved; no ancient source attributes meaning to it directly.
