Reverse description 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.
