| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract, stylised manner characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. The body is schematically depicted with pellet ornaments and exaggerated limbs, the head shown in profile with a prominent eye rendered as a pellet. The legend VIRI appears below the lion, referencing the name Verica. The overall design reflects the influence of Mediterranean coinage traditions interpreted through a Celtic artistic idiom. |
