| 正面描述 | Central rectangular tablet bearing the Latin legend COM F (abbreviated dynastic formula reading 'son of Commios'), rendered in bold raised lettering characteristic of late British Iron Age coinage. A prominent ringed pellet — a concentric circle motif — occupies the upper field above the tablet, serving as a decorative and possibly symbolic device. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border following the irregular flan edge. The composition is typical of Verica's early coinage, combining epigraphy with abstract Celtic ornamental elements. |

Verica ruled the Atrebates in the decade or so before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, and his coins are among the last produced by a British tribal king operating under Roman diplomatic influence — he had received recognition from Augustus or Tiberius and styled himself REX on some issues. His eventual expulsion by the Catuvellauni under Caratacus is, according to Suetonius, one of the proximate triggers Claudius cited to justify the invasion.
The VIR abbreviation on this quarter stater is a shortened form of VIIRIC or VIRIC, Verica's name as it appears across his coinage in various truncations. Sills 370 places this among the later die groupings of his reign.
