| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a prancing or galloping horse rendered in the stylised Celtic manner, set within a field decorated with radiating lines or wheel-spoke motifs emanating from the central figure. The horse is shown in motion, with limbs extended in a manner typical of Atrebatic coinage influenced by Gallo-Belgic prototypes. The surface exhibits the characteristic flat, broad flan of the silver unit denomination, with the design occupying most of the available field. No legible inscription is present on this face. The irregular flan edge and variable die alignment are consistent with hammered production techniques of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tincomarus was the son of Commius, the Atrebatic king who had served Julius Caesar as an envoy before spectacularly turning against Rome and fleeing to Britain around 51 BC. The prancing lion type is associated with Tincomarus's early coinage, before his stylistic shift toward overtly Roman imagery — a shift so pronounced it suggests direct diplomatic contact with Augustus, possibly connected to an embassy the Roman geographer Strabo records as arriving from Britain during this period. Tincomarus was eventually expelled, probably by his brother Eppillus, and fled to Rome, where he appears in the Res Gestae among the foreign suppliants received by Augustus.
