| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised warrior on horseback depicted in vigorous motion to the left, rendered in the expressive, abstracted manner typical of late Iron Age Celtic coinage. The rider appears armed, with a spear or carnyx-like object extending upward to the left. Scattered around the field are annulets, pellets, and a spoked wheel symbol to the left of the horse, all standard decorative devices of Cantian gold staters. The Latin legend SEGO is distributed in the field to the right of the horseman, identifying the issuing authority or mint name. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent — the closest point of Britain to Gaul — making them among the most economically and politically entangled of the southeastern tribes with the Roman world. By the time this stater was struck, Augustus had drawn Britain into Rome's commercial orbit without military conquest, and client relationships with tribal rulers were already reshaping how coinage moved and what it signified. The "Sego" inscription almost certainly references a named individual, likely a ruler or sub-ruler, though no literary source confirms the identity.
Kent's proximity to the continent meant Cantian gold coinage circulated alongside imported Roman issues, which accelerated the tribe's stylistic drift toward legible inscribed types in the decades before Claudius landed in 43 AD.
