| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prancing horse moving to the right, depicted with a fine pellet mane and a double-strand tail, its harness unions rendered as annulets. A warrior wearing a cap is mounted upon the horse, brandishing a sword and spear, or alternatively a small round shield composed of pellets. A ground line forms the exergue beneath the horse. The legend, possibly blundered on some specimens, is distributed in the field to the front, behind and below the horse, reading CF and REX, the latter denoting the royal title of Verica. A pellet border encircles the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Verica was the last client king of the Atrebates, installed and maintained with Roman backing following his father Tincommius's flight to Augustus around 7 AD. His adoption of the Latin title REX — rare among British tribal coinages — was a deliberate political signal toward Rome, and it worked: when Verica was himself expelled by the Catuvellauni around 42 AD, his appeal to Claudius provided the formal pretext for the Roman invasion of 43 AD. A small fractional gold piece, struck in the final decade before that invasion, quietly anchors one of the most consequential political ruptures in British prehistory.
