| Beschrijving keerzijde | A disjointed triple-tailed horse prancing to right, rendered in the highly stylised Celtic manner typical of Atrebatic coinage. Below the horse, a spoked wheel symbol occupies the lower field. Above the horse, an E-form symbol with a bent or angled middle bar serves as the principal identifying device of this issue type. Below the horse's head, a trefoil ornament is placed in the field. The legend COMMIOS, attributed in brackets as an implied issuer's name, appears associated with this type in catalogue references, though it does not appear as a struck inscription on the coin itself. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Commius arrived in Britain as Caesar's envoy before switching sides during the Gallic Wars, eventually fleeing to Britain himself around 50 BC after a failed assassination attempt left him, according to the sources, refusing to ever again set eyes on a Roman. The E-type staters attributed to his rule represent the late phase of his coinage, issued as he consolidated control over the Atrebates in the south after his flight across the Channel.
The ABC 1025 classification places this among a tightly defined die group. Fewer than a few dozen recorded examples exist across major collections.
