| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of a warrior moving to the right, bearing an oval shield on the left arm, rendered in schematic Celtic style. The legend COMMI F appears in the lower field, referencing Commios, father of Verica, as a mark of dynastic lineage. A pellet border encloses the design. The die work is crude and irregular, consistent with a contemporary imitation struck from debased dies copying official Atrebatic coinage. The silver plating is largely worn or lost, exposing the bronze core beneath. |

| Reverse description | Equestrian warrior figure advancing to the right, depicted carrying a spear or javelin, rendered in a summary and degenerate style characteristic of contemporary counterfeits of Atrebatic coinage. The dynastic inscription VERICA appears divided, with VERI in the upper field and CA in the lower field, flanking the horse. A pellet border surrounds the design. The overall execution is markedly inferior to official issues, with poorly defined musculature on the horse and blundered letterforms, consistent with an unofficial imitation produced in circulation alongside authentic issues of Verica. |
