| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central tablet bearing the Latin legend COMF (filius Commii, meaning 'Son of Commios'), framed above and below by a scroll-like ornament consisting of a solid crescent with a central pellet and two flanking rings. The entire design is enclosed within a large incuse circle, beyond which runs a border of pellets around the circumference of the flan. The decorative elements reflect the Gallo-Belgic artistic tradition adapted by the Atrebatic mint. |

Verica ruled the Atrebates as a self-styled client king of Rome, adopting the title REX on his coinage — a deliberate political statement made by no earlier British ruler. His dynasty's pro-Roman alignment would ultimately trigger Caratacus and Togodumnus to drive him from power around 40 AD, and it was Verica's appeal to Claudius that provided the formal pretext for the Roman invasion of 43 AD. One dispossessed king's coin effectively set the stage for four centuries of Roman Britain.
