| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised Celtic horse prancing left, rendered in the schematic tradition of the Atrebatic coinage. A horizontal lazy E symbol (lying on its side) is placed prominently in the field above the horse, serving as the principal dynastic identifier of the Commius type. Below the horse appears an uncertain curvilinear animal figure rendered as a reversed or backwards S-shape, likely a zoomorphic subsidiary device. The overall composition is typical of the debased artistic style of late Atrebatic silver units. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Commios was, by most accounts, the same man who served Caesar as a trusted envoy and cavalry commander during the Gallic Wars — before defecting, surviving at least one assassination attempt, and crossing to Britain to establish himself among the Atrebates, likely around 50 BC. That a former Roman client ended his days issuing independent coinage is one of the more striking reversals in late Iron Age politics. The "Lazy E" designation refers to a specific die characteristic used by modern cataloguers to distinguish this emission from related Commian issues.
