It's a wierd looking gold quarter stater, this Beaded Trophy, but worth studying closely. Firstly, it has a noticeable nipple on the obverse which, apart from the Willett's Nipple quarter of the Regini (further west along the south coast), is most unusual for a quarter stater of the Cantiaci of Kent. Secondly, it has beaded lines at the base of the 'trophy'. And thirdly, there is a fearsome face with bushy eyebrows concealed within this intricate design, originally derived from denarii of Julius Caesar. Unlisted by Van Arsdell and extremely rare. Chris Rudd May list.   8.05.06
