Silver Minim - Eppillus Teardrop Pellets

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.
