| 表面の説明 | Two opposed thin crescents arranged back-to-back in the centre of the field, forming a vesica-like motif. A single pellet is positioned within each cusp of the crescents. A partial arc of pellets is visible along the right margin, consistent with a beaded border. The design is rendered in a schematic, abstract Celtic style with no legend or inscription. |

| 裏面の説明 | A stylised horse prancing to the right, with the right foreleg raised in a stepping posture. The body is rendered in a simplified, elongated Celtic manner with attenuated limbs and a branched tail extending upward. The field is plain and unadorned, with no legend or subsidiary devices. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, typical of struck British Iron Age silver minims. |

Eppillus is one of the few pre-Roman British rulers to use the Latin title REX on his coinage, suggesting direct diplomatic engagement with Rome — possibly connected to Augustus's renewed interest in Britain following Cunobelinus's rise to power among the Catuvellauni. He appears to have ruled parts of both Cantii and Atrebates territory, and the coin record is the primary evidence for his reign's geography and chronology.
Minims of this type are among the smallest Celtic silver issues struck in Britain. The weight tolerance across surviving specimens varies enough to suggest production without rigid weight standards.
