正面铭文	TOVTO
背面描述	Winged Victory striding to the right, depicted in a highly stylised Celtic rendering with pronounced wing forms arching above the figure. The figure holds a sword at waist level, the weapon rendered schematically in the field. The divided legend E-P appears across the coin field, flanking the central motif. The composition typifies the late Cantian silver unit series, combining Roman-derived iconography with vigorous indigenous die-cutting.

附加信息	The Cantii occupied the southeastern corner of Britain — roughly modern Kent — and were among the tribes Caesar encountered directly during his expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. By the time this unit was struck, roughly six decades after that contact, Gaulish artistic conventions had been filtering into British Celtic coinage long enough to produce thoroughly abstracted imagery. The name "Touto" appearing on this type is a Celtic word meaning "tribe" or "people," making it one of the relatively rare instances where a British Celtic coin inscription functions as a collective identifier rather than a ruler's name.
