| Additional information |
The Cantii occupied the territory now covered by Kent, and their potin coinage — cast rather than struck, an unusual survival of a much older manufacturing tradition — circulated heavily enough that examples turn up regularly in Thames dredging and ploughed Kent fields to this day. The "striations right" designation refers to a specific die characteristic used to distinguish sub-types within this densely produced series, a classification refined largely through Van Arsdell's systematic work in the 1980s.
