Obverse description Central horizontal tablet bearing the Latin legend COMF, an abbreviated dynastic inscription reading 'Commios Filius' (Son of Commios), attributing the issue to Verica of the Atrebates. A plain open crescent is positioned above the tablet and a second, ornate crescent — rendered with pellet decoration at its terminals — appears below, both serving as the distinctive 'Selsey Crescents' type markers. The design is executed in the schematic, abstract style characteristic of late British Celtic coinage, with the field displaying a flat, unadorned surface typical of the quarter stater format.
