| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, abstracted head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène Celtic artistic idiom. The facial features are schematically delineated, with a pronounced curved arc representing the cranium and a boldly cast nose and chin visible in profile. Striated or hatched lines suggestive of hair radiate from the crown. The surrounding field exhibits the rough, pitted surface typical of cast potin manufacture, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Potin coinage of the Cantii was cast rather than struck — an unusual production method in Iron Age Britain that reflects Continental influence, most likely from the Massaliote and Gaulish traditions filtering across the Channel. The "abstract bull" classification marks an advanced stage of stylistic devolution from the original Massaliote bronze types, where the bull image had already degraded significantly through successive generations of copying by craftsmen working without reference to the prototype.
Cast in flat strips and then snapped apart, individual units show irregular flan edges as a direct consequence of the production process — not damage.
