| Beschrijving voorzijde | A Romano-Celtic temple depicted in schematic frontal elevation, featuring a prominent pitched or pediment roof rendered in relief above a rectangular naos structure with columnar sides. The temple facade is decorated with pellet ornaments within the cella, reflecting Romano-British architectural influence. The Latin inscription is divided to the left and right of the temple, reading F and C respectively, abbreviated filiation denoting 'son of Commios.' The overall design is executed in the late Celtic style with bold, deeply cut relief typical of Atrebatic silver minims of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Verica, the Romanized son of Commius, issued coinage that leaned heavily on Roman iconographic conventions — a deliberate political signal to Rome that the Atrebates were aligned, not hostile. His eventual expulsion by Caratacus around 43 AD is directly cited in ancient sources as one of Claudius's pretexts for the invasion of Britain, making Verica's coinage the numismatic prelude to one of history's more consequential military campaigns.
