| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Verica facing right, rendered in the schematic Celtic stylistic tradition with a prominent eye rendered in profile. The legend VIRI appears in Latin characters to the right of the bust within the field. The flan is struck with a pellet border, and the overall fabric exhibits the irregular, slightly convex form characteristic of hand-struck Celtic silver coinage of the early first century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Verica was the son of Commius and the last client king of the Atrebates before his expulsion by Catuvellauni expansion around 43 AD — his flight to Rome and appeal to Claudius is one of the directly cited pretexts for the Roman invasion of Britain that same year. Whether that diplomatic episode carried genuine weight or was merely convenient cover for Claudian ambition is still debated.
ABC 1247 is among the more tightly dated issues in his series, placed in the middle of his reign before the political pressure from the Catuvellauni became acute.
