| Additional information |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent — the most exposed corner of Britain to Continental influence and, after 43 AD, to Roman military pressure. This stater type, attributed by Sills as issue 89, belongs to the latest phase of Cantian gold coinage, struck in the decade or so before Roman administrative consolidation effectively ended autonomous tribal minting in the southeast. Whether production ceased by edict or simply by economic absorption is not recorded, but surviving examples are sparse enough to suggest a short run.
