| 表面の説明 | Schematised outline head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the late Celtic cast tradition with bold curvilinear striations defining the facial features. A distinctive triad of pellets is placed within the facial field, serving as the principal diagnostic element of this variety. The design is executed in low relief with a characteristically abstracted, linear quality typical of Cantian potin coinage derived from Massaliote prototypes. |

The Cantii occupied most of what is now Kent, and their potin issues are among the earliest coins struck — or more accurately, cast — in Britain. Potin, a tin-rich bronze alloy, was the standard medium for these early cast pieces, which predate the gold and silver struck coinage introduced later by the same tribal groups. The three-dot variety maps to a specific die classification in Van Arsdell's typology, distinguishing it from the closely related two-dot and four-dot issues that circulated concurrently across the same territory.
Cast in strip moulds rather than struck, production losses and variable alloy quality are endemic to the type.
