Comment
Late Weald Type. BMC 2469-70;Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Stater "Cantian H" coin is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized Roman imperial eagle, indicating the coin's connection to the Roman Empire. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Celts and Romans during this time period.
