| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head facing right, rendered in the characteristically abstract Iron Age British tradition with fluid, curvilinear lines defining the hair and facial features. The hair is depicted as a series of flowing, beaded strands arranged in a broad arc around the face. The eye is prominently rendered as a raised pellet, and the facial profile displays the elongated, stylised aesthetic typical of late pre-Roman Celtic coinage of the Atrebatean series. The flat, irregular flan bears no legible inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Epaticcus ruled the Atrebates in the decades immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, steadily pushing eastward into Catuvellauni territory — a territorial aggression that may well have contributed to the political instability Rome later cited as justification for intervention. Minims of this type are fractional issues of genuinely uncertain function; at 0.2g, their practical use in daily exchange is questionable, and some scholars favor a votive or prestige interpretation.
The ABC 1361 attribution places this firmly within a small, well-documented group distinguishable from related Atrebatic minims by die characteristics recorded across the BMC Iron Age series entries 2371–2374.
