1/4 Stater 'Cantian H'

The Cantii occupied the southeastern corner of Britain — roughly modern Kent — and were among the tribes Caesar described firsthand during his expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. These fractional gold pieces were struck in the final decades before the Claudian conquest fundamentally reorganized the region's political economy. The 'H' classification within Evans's typological grouping reflects a stylistic divergence from related Cantian issues, likely indicating a distinct workshop or issuing authority within the tribe rather than a unified mint.
