| Reverse description | A boar passant right, rendered in the characteristic British Celtic style with a prominent dorsal spine and stylized musculature, occupying the central field. The design is enclosed within a border of pellets. A two-part Latin legend is distributed above and below the boar, reading EPPIL above and F COM below, abbreviated for 'Eppillus, filius Commii' — identifying the issuer as a son of Commius, king of the Atrebates. The composition is compact and well-centred for the flan size. |

| Additional information |
Eppillus — son of Commius, the Atrebatic king who had served Caesar as an envoy before dramatically switching sides during the Gallic revolts — struck coins across two separate kingdoms, first among the Atrebates and later among the Cantii of Kent, making him one of the few late Iron Age rulers whose numismatic footprint spans a genuine political migration rather than simply a change of mint.
