| Additional information |
The Cantii occupied what is now Kent and parts of Surrey and Essex — the tribes Caesar encountered directly during his expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. By the time this fractional stater was struck, roughly a generation had passed since that contact, and the Cantii had absorbed enough continental monetary practice to produce a relatively disciplined coinage by British Iron Age standards. The "South Thames Banded" designation reflects a modern distributional classification based on findspot clustering rather than any ancient administrative boundary.
