| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised bust of Apollo facing left, rendered in a distinctly Celtic interpretation of the classical prototype. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, raised parallel striations sweeping back from the forehead, a hallmark of Cantian potin coinage. The facial features, including a prominent nose and jutting chin, are rendered in a schematic yet vigorous manner characteristic of the Birchington Bull series. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent, and their potin coinage — cast rather than struck, distinguishing it from virtually all contemporary Celtic issues elsewhere in Britain — circulated during a period of intensifying cross-Channel contact with Belgic Gaul. The "Birchington Bull" type takes its name from a hoard find site on the Isle of Thanet, one of several Kent concentrations suggesting these pieces moved in tight regional circuits rather than across tribal boundaries.
Cast in tin-rich bronze using clay moulds, potin flans frequently show casting sprues or surface porosity. ABC 141 sits at the earlier end of the Cantian potin sequence.
