| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner with articulated limbs and a curved, arched neck. Above the horse, a spoked wheel or solar symbol appears in the upper left field, accompanied by a ringed pellet to its lower left and a cluster of pellets to the upper right. A rider or anthropomorphic figure appears above and behind the horse's back. Below the horse, a large pellet-in-annulet device occupies the lower field, with the entire composition bounded by a beaded or pellet border around the coin's irregular flan. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates arrived in southern Britain as refugees — or conquerors, depending on your source — fleeing Caesar's campaigns in Gaul during the 50s BC, bringing with them coin-making traditions directly transplanted from the Belgic region of the continent. This fractional silver represents the smallest practical denomination in a system designed for fine economic calibration, not just prestige exchange.
VA 168-1 is among the more precisely attributed varieties in Van Arsdell's Celtic coinage reference, placing it squarely within the output of a tribe that would later produce Tincomarus and Verica — client kings who appealed directly to Augustus and Claudius respectively.
