| Additional information |
Dubnovellaunos is one of the few named Cantii rulers whose coins provide the primary evidence for his existence at all — no Roman source confirms him independently. His issues appear at the intersection of intensifying Roman commercial contact with southeast Britain, when Gaulish coin conventions were being absorbed and reworked by local moneyers responding to trade rather than any imperial directive. The "Metalworker" attribution in the type name reflects a modern classification by die style and execution, not any inscription.
ABC 324 is among the lighter silver fractions of the sequence, suggesting intermittent silver supply or deliberate weight reduction late in the series.
