| Aversbeschreibung | Highly schematic and degraded head rendered in the Celtic abstract tradition, composed of a central raised blob flanked by curved lines suggesting facial features. The design is a late-stage devolution of the classical head motif, retaining only vestigial anthropomorphic elements. The casting surface is coarse and irregular, consistent with the production methods of Brittonic potin coinage. No inscription or legend is present in the field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A prominent horizontal bar or raised ridge traverses the centre of the reverse field, flanked above and below by additional parallel lines, representing the final schematic abstraction of what was originally a zoomorphic or geometric reverse design. The flat, unadorned field surrounding the bar is characteristic of late Brittonic cast potin issues. No inscription or legend is present. The surface retains a patinated, granular texture typical of cast potin alloy. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Potin coinage in Britain was not locally invented — it arrived as a technology transfer from the Kentish channel trade networks, ultimately derived from Massaliote and Gaulish prototypes. By the time types like this one were being cast, the originating designs had passed through so many generational copies that the source imagery had become functionally abstract. This is a feature, not a defect: the degradation itself is chronologically useful, placing the piece late within the potin sequence.
Cast rather than struck, which is the diagnostic production method for all British potins. No mint, no authority, no issuer we can name with confidence.
