Obverse description Facing head of Mercury rendered in a schematised Celtic artistic style, the features summarily executed with broad strokes characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage. The hair is depicted as a radiating wreath or crown of stylised pellets and flame-like projections framing the visage. The legend VER appears in the field to the right of the bust, referencing the mint of Verulamium. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border of pellets following the coin's irregular flan.
