| Beschrijving voorzijde | Three acorns arranged in the field, rendered in a stylised Celtic manner with the caps and bodies clearly delineated in low relief. The abbreviated dynastic legend appears above the central motif, divided across the field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of struck British Celtic minims of this period. |

Verica ruled the Atrebates as a client king of Rome, and his coinage reflects that relationship more directly than almost any other British tribal issue — he was the first British ruler to use the Latin title REX on his coins. The acorn type sits among his smaller fractional denominations, likely used for low-value local exchange in the decades immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. Verica himself was expelled from his kingdom around 40 AD, and his appeal to Claudius for restoration is cited by ancient sources as one of Rome's pretexts for the conquest.
