| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse depicting a stylised horse or zoomorphic figure facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner with disjointed body parts suggested by pellets and curved lines. Above the animal's back, a cluster of pellets and a crescent-like element occupy the upper field, possibly representing a wheel or solar symbol. To the right, a plant or branch motif with rounded terminals is visible, a common decorative device on Cantian coinage. The overall composition is typical of the debased stater derivative tradition of the Cantii, where the original Macedonian prototype has been thoroughly abstracted. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck Celtic silver minims of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent, the primary landing zone for Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC, and their coinage tradition reflects decades of direct Continental pressure. Minims of this type circulated at the smallest denomination level, likely facilitating local exchange rather than inter-tribal tribute. ABC 477 is among several Cantian silver issues whose precise functional role remains debated — the dolphin motif appears across multiple southern British series, possibly derived from Gaulish prototypes rather than any local symbolic tradition.
