| Beschrijving keerzijde | A mounted warrior depicted in profile advancing to the right, seated on a horse rendered in the stylised Celtic tradition. The rider carries a spear held diagonally, with anatomical details of both horse and warrior executed in the fluid, abstract manner characteristic of late Atrebatic gold coinage. The Latin legend VIR REX (Verica Rex — Verica King) appears in the field, distributed behind and below the horse. A pellet border frames the composition, a standard decorative device on British Celtic issues of this 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.
