Potin Unit Nipples / Dump Type / Holman G3

The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent, and their potin coinage was among the last indigenous struck — or rather, cast — currency produced in Britain before Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC disrupted the political fabric of the southeast. Whether production continued through that disruption or halted at it remains debated. The "dump" form, a thick irregular cast blank rather than a struck flan, places this among the cruder functional issues of the type, circulating alongside more refined coinage in a mixed economy that archaeologists have traced through oppida site assemblages across Kent and into Essex.
