背面描述 Stylized bull striding right, rendered in the schematic Celtic linear style typical of Cantian Group D potin issues. In the finer sub-types the bull retains a recognisable bovine form with body, legs, and tail indicated by bold cast lines; in the more degraded varieties the anatomy is increasingly abstracted, with the body extending past a single rear leg and merging with the tail to form a cross-like motif. The design exhibits progressive debasement across the die sequence, from a coherent quadruped to a near-geometric arrangement of strokes. No inscription or legend appears on the reverse; the field is plain and uninscribed.

附加信息

The Cantii occupied what is now Kent — the closest part of Britain to Gaul — and their potin coinage reflects direct contact with Gaulish monetary practice rather than any Roman influence. Potin itself, a tin-rich bronze alloy, was cast rather than struck, making these among the technically distinct issues of pre-Roman Britain. The rounded bull types are among the earlier Cantian potins, preceding the more degenerate cast issues that become nearly abstract by the mid-first century BC.

Holman's die classification for this type remains the most granular reference work available, given how little ancient documentation exists for tribal British coinage.
