| 正面描述 | Highly stylised, schematic head facing right in low relief, rendered in the abstract Celtic geometric tradition characteristic of Cantian potin coinage. The facial features are reduced to bold curved and angular lines, with the eye either absent (no pellet) or indicated by a single central pellet depending on the die variety. The outline of the head is formed by a large arc, with subsidiary curved lines suggesting the jaw, neck, and hair or helmet. The design occupies the full flan and shows the deliberate simplification typical of late Iron Age British cast potin issues. |

Potin — a tin-rich bronze alloy — was cast rather than struck, making Cantii issues like this one technically distinct from nearly all contemporary Celtic coinage in Britain. The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent, the landing zone for both Caesar's 55 BC and 54 BC expeditions, and coins of this type were almost certainly in active circulation the moment Roman soldiers first set foot on British soil.
The casting process leaves seam lines and surface irregularities that are features of manufacture, not damage.
