| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised Celtic geometric design occupying the entire flan, consisting of a central cruciform arrangement of curved lines and teardrop-shaped pellets radiating from the field. Three crescentic or arc motifs frame the central device above and below, each terminating in a pellet or globular boss. The whole composition is enclosed within a beaded border of uniform pellets running along the coin's periphery, characteristic of the abstract La Tène artistic tradition employed on late British Iron Age silver minims. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eppillus is one of the few Late Iron Age rulers in Britain whose name appears on coinage in both Atrebatic and Cantian territories, suggesting either conquest or a dynastic claim that stretched across the Thames. This minuscule denomination would have circulated at the very bottom of a largely elite exchange system — silver miniatures of this type are thought to have functioned in low-value transactions or ritual deposits rather than bulk trade.
Van Arsdell 154-13 places this within a tightly defined die group. The teardrop pellet arrangement is a consistent identifier across the series.
