| 背面描述 | A boar passant to the right is depicted standing upon an exergual line, rendered in a stylised Celtic manner with hatched or pellet body detailing characteristic of Atrebatic silver units. Above the boar appears either a six-pointed star or a pellet rosette, distinguishing two die varieties of this type. The abbreviated royal name VIRI appears as a legend below the exergual line, referencing the issuing king Verica. |

Verica was the last independent king of the Atrebates, and it was his appeal to Claudius — after being driven out by the Catuvellauni under Caratacus and Togodumnus — that Rome used as the formal pretext for the invasion of Britain in 43 AD. These coins were struck while he still held power in the south, decades before that collapse. The "Smiley" designation is a modern collector's nickname derived from a distinctive die characteristic, not ancient nomenclature.
