| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, abstracted depiction of a boar occupying the central field, rendered in the characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic artistic idiom. The animal's dorsal ridge is surmounted by a prominent row of pin-cushion bristles, depicted as a raised, knobbed crest running along the spine. The body is rendered as a series of flowing, curvilinear relief forms, with limbs suggested by incised lines and pellet ornaments scattered across the field. The flan is irregularly shaped and slightly concave, consistent with the scyphate fabric typical of this Corieltauvian series. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold, deeply struck reversed-S shaped motif dominates the central field, formed by two opposing arcs that divide the flan into two roughly equal lobes. Above the S-curve, a stylised eyebrow or arc element is visible, and within each lobe are scattered pellets and annulet ornaments representing highly abstracted eye motifs, one to either side of the dividing curve. The overall composition is typical of the geometric, non-figurative reverse designs employed by the Corieltauvi on their fractional gold coinage. The flan is irregular and shows the characteristic concavity of the scyphate fabric. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied much of what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage developed in near-total isolation from the dynastic naming conventions adopted by tribes further south — most Corieltauvian issues carry no ruler's name at all, making precise attribution and sequencing genuinely difficult. The scyphate, or concave-dish, form seen here is unusual for British Celtic gold and likely derives from prolonged contact with Continental Gaulish types rather than any local innovation.
The "Reversed" designation distinguishes this die orientation from the standard Lindsey series — a small but cataloguers-significant detail that has helped establish relative chronologies within the type.
