| Aversbeschreibung | Schematised outline bust of Apollo facing left or right, rendered in the abstract Celtic linear style characteristic of Cantian potin coinage. The head is depicted as a simplified open form without a neck line, with the facial features reduced to geometric elements. Depending on the die variety, an eye pellet may or may not be present within the outlined head. The design derives ultimately from Massaliote prototypes but has been progressively abstracted through successive generations of Celtic die-cutting. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent and were among the tribes Caesar encountered directly during his expeditions of 55 and 54 BC — making this coin potentially contemporary with the first Roman boots on British soil. Potin, a cast tin-bronze alloy, was the dominant coinage technology among the Cantii before struck silver became widespread, and the angular bull type is one of the more stylistically degenerate terminal forms in the sequence, suggesting late production within the series.
Holman's typology places F3 toward the end of the casting sequence based on fabric degradation and module reduction across known examples.
