History:
The
Cantiaci were a Celtic or Belgic people living
in Britain before the Roman conquest. They
lived in the area then called Cantium, now
called Kent, in south-eastern England. Their
capital was Durovernum Cantiacorum, now Canterbury.
The yoke-shaped ornament may be perceived
in at least three different ways: as a yoke,
as a stylised face, or as male genitalia.
This coin is extremely rare with only four
originals being recorded.
