| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, degenerate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the Celtic linear tradition. A prominent eye-ring without a central pellet is depicted in the field, and a single incuse line bisects the neck vertically. The rear contour of the cranium returns at a sharp, angular inflection, imparting a helmet-like silhouette characteristic of the Cantian potin series. The portrait retains vestigial classical form but is substantially abstracted from its Massaliote prototype. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Potin coinage among the Cantii was not locally produced — these pieces were almost certainly imported from the continent, likely originating with Gallo-Belgic communities in what is now northeastern France and Belgium, before entering circulation in southeast Britain through cross-Channel exchange networks that predate Caesar's expeditions by several decades. The curved bull type represents one of the earliest and most schematized phases of this importation, the image having degenerated through successive copying to the point where it barely recalls its original Massaliote prototype.
