| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head rendered in the characteristic curvilinear La Tène artistic tradition, facing right, with flowing abstract hair strands dissolving into swirling decorative elements across the field. The design reflects the heavily abstracted idiom typical of late Iron Age British coinage, where naturalistic features are reduced to schematic arcs, pellets, and sinuous lines. The legend EPPI C F is disposed around the design, referencing the issuer Eppillus, son of Commios. The flan is irregular and struck on a relatively thin bronze planchet, with natural green patination obscuring some of the finer die detail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eppillus is one of the few pre-Roman British rulers who styled himself REX on his coinage — an unusually direct adoption of Latin titulature that points to active diplomatic engagement with Rome, possibly following Caesar's expeditions or through trade networks along the south coast. He ruled across both Atrebatic and Cantian territory, and this issue likely belongs to his Cantian phase, after he appears to have displaced or succeeded Dubnovellaunus around the turn of the first century.
The chariot type connects to a long Gallo-Belgic tradition but is notably late in its British appearance.
