Beschrijving voorzijde Central field divided into two horizontal registers by a pair of raised parallel lines, forming a tabula ansata-style panel bisected by the inscription. The legend VOLI (upper register) and SIOS (lower register) is rendered in bold, deeply cut Latin lettering. A stylised wreath border encircles the entire design, its pellet-and-arc motifs clearly visible around the coin's periphery. The execution is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic hand-engraving, with the inscribed panel dominating the flan.

Aanvullende informatie

Volisios is one of the few named rulers attested among the Corieltauvi, appearing on several coin types alongside co-rulers — Dumnocoveros and Cartivellaunos among them — suggesting a tribal leadership structure that distributed authority rather than concentrating it. Whether these pairings reflect joint kingship, a regent arrangement, or sequential succession compressed onto overlapping coin issues is still debated. The dating places this squarely in the years immediately surrounding the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, when Corieltauvian political arrangements dissolved under Roman pressure.
