| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised hand depicted in profile, prominently centered in the field and grasping a trident, the tines of which extend upward. A crescent appears above the hand, serving as a subsidiary decorative element. The royal inscription is distributed across the fields flanking the hand and continues below, reading V-ER REX, denoting Verica as king. The design reflects the Romanising artistic influence increasingly adopted by the Atrebatic dynasty in the early first century AD. The lettering is rendered in a compact Latin script characteristic of southern British coinage of this period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Verica ruled the Atrebates in the early first century AD as a client king of Rome, and his coinage reflects that relationship directly — Latin titulature, Romanised iconography, and a mint output that tracks the political turbulence of a tribe caught between Roman ambition and internal dynastic rivalry. His eventual expulsion, likely by Caratacus of the Catuvellauni around 40–43 AD, is widely considered one of the pretexts Claudius used to justify the invasion of 43 AD. Minims like this were the fractional workhorses of that political moment, struck at weights that required considerable die-cutting skill at a barely functional scale.
