| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two-line inscription VIR / VAR enclosed within a rectangular tablet or cartouche, the lines divided by a horizontal rule. A pellet border surrounds the design. The lettering is rendered in bold, deeply cut Roman capitals characteristic of late Celtic Iron Age coinage attributed to Verica, king of the Atrebates, with VIR VAR interpreted as an abbreviation of Verica's royal title or name formula. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Verica was the last client king of the Atrebates before his expulsion — likely by Catuvellauni pressure under Cunobelinus or his sons — prompted him to flee to Rome and appeal directly to Claudius. That appeal is the immediate political trigger for the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD. Coins of Verica therefore predate not just a conquest but a chain of events he personally set in motion.
At 0.3g and 8mm, minims are among the smallest struck coins in the British Iron Age series, and die alignment and centering on this denomination are almost never consistent.
