| 正面描述 | Highly stylised, abstracted head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène Celtic artistic idiom. The facial features are schematically delineated, with a pronounced curved arc representing the cranium and a boldly cast nose and chin visible in profile. Striated or hatched lines suggestive of hair radiate from the crown. The surrounding field exhibits the rough, pitted surface typical of cast potin manufacture, with no legend or inscription present. |

| 背面描述 | Highly abstracted bull depicted in a dynamic striding pose, rendered in the geometric Celtic La Tène style characteristic of Cantian potin coinage. The animal's body is represented by a series of curved and linear cast elements, with the legs indicated by short strokes beneath the torso and a prominent rounded mass suggesting the body. Above and below the bull, additional abstract linear devices fill the field. No legend or inscription is present, and the flan retains the characteristic irregular edges and pitted surface of cast potin production. |

Potin coinage of the Cantii was cast rather than struck — an unusual production method in Iron Age Britain that reflects Continental influence, most likely from the Massaliote and Gaulish traditions filtering across the Channel. The "abstract bull" classification marks an advanced stage of stylistic devolution from the original Massaliote bronze types, where the bull image had already degraded significantly through successive generations of copying by craftsmen working without reference to the prototype.
Cast in flat strips and then snapped apart, individual units show irregular flan edges as a direct consequence of the production process — not damage.
