| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse depicted in profile moving to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic idiom characteristic of late Iron Age Cantian coinage. The animal's limbs and body are indicated by bold, simplified curves, with the head turned slightly and the mane suggested by a raised arc. The field below the horse contains vestigial pellet or linear ornaments, while the overall composition fills the irregular flan. No inscription or legend is present, the design being purely emblematic in character. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent and maintained closer trading contact with Gaul than virtually any other British tribe — Caesar noted them specifically during his 55 and 54 BC expeditions. This bronze unit belongs to a phase of Cantian coinage that postdates direct Roman military pressure but precedes full provincial absorption, a period when local minting remained vigorous and relatively autonomous. The Mossop classification distinguishes this boar type from related issues by die linkage studies published in the 1980s.
