| Reversbeschreibung | A Pegasus, the winged horse of classical mythology, is depicted in a dynamic gallop to the right, rendered in the stylised Celtic artistic tradition with a beaded mane and clearly delineated wings extending to the left. A pellet appears in the upper field above the horse. In the lower field beneath the horse, a pentagram or five-pointed star motif is visible, a device frequently associated with Verica's coinage. The design fills the flan within a beaded border and reflects the strong classical influence on the late Atrebatic coinage of southern Britain. |

Verica ruled the Atrebates in the years immediately preceding the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, and it was his appeal to Rome — after being driven from his kingdom by Caratacus and the Catuvellaunian expansion — that provided Claudius the political pretext to invade. This coin belongs to the final phase of his reign, struck while his territory was contracting under pressure from the north and east.
ABC 1256 is among the smaller denominations of his output, and genuine examples are frequently confused with contemporary imitations. The pentagram device has been linked by some scholars to continental Gaulish prototypes, though the transmission remains debated.
