| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular flan bearing a two-line Latin inscription in the field, reading TINCOM above COMMI, the lettering executed in bold, somewhat crudely formed characters consistent with a contemporary forgery struck from an imitative die. A row of pellets or pellet-derived ornamental devices borders the upper field, serving as a decorative frieze typical of late Iron Age British coinage. The lower field contains a circular annulet motif. The overall workmanship is notably inferior to official issues of Tincomarus, with uneven relief and irregular letter spacing betraying the counterfeit nature of the piece. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Atrebatic gold coinage are well documented, and this plated bronze example sits in a tradition of irregular issues that circulated alongside official strikes — often accepted without question in a society without assay infrastructure. Tincomarus, son of Commius, ruled the Atrebates during a period of intensifying Roman commercial contact, and the increasing volume of coin use that came with it created both opportunity and motive for plated forgeries. The originals themselves were already debased relative to earlier Gaulish prototypes.
