| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain convex field bearing a rectangular tablet or cartouche set centrally across the flan, within which the Latin legend COM·F(I) is boldly inscribed in raised relief, denoting Commios filius (Son of Commios), the dynastic claim of the issuing king Verica. The tablet is rendered with lightly incised framing lines and occupies the majority of the visible field. The surrounding field is otherwise unadorned, consistent with the late British Celtic epigraphic coinage tradition. The flan is irregular in outline, characteristic of hand-struck hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Verica ruled the Atrebates during one of the most politically volatile periods in pre-conquest Britain, maintaining a pro-Roman client relationship that ultimately collapsed when he was driven from power — an event so significant that Claudius used it as direct justification for the invasion of 43 AD. The "Rex" title on his coinage is itself a statement: Verica was among only a handful of British rulers to adopt it, signaling both Roman alignment and a deliberate claim to legitimacy that his rivals lacked.
Van Arsdell 500-01 places this stater within the later phase of his output, after consolidation of Atrebatic territory following Commios-dynasty succession struggles.
