Beschrijving keerzijde A stylised horse depicted in left profile, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner with a pronounced globular body divided into two lobed sections, attenuated legs indicated by thin strokes, and a finely striated mane rising from the arched neck. A pellet or annulet appears before the horse's muzzle in the upper right field. The design is contained within an irregular beaded border, consistent with the miniaturised coinage of Eppillus associated with the Cantii and Atrebates of south-eastern Britain.

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.
