| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse advancing to the left, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner with the body resolved into a series of bold, rounded pellet-like forms. A distinctive doubled or bifurcated upper foreleg is the diagnostic feature of this type. A pellet-in-ring ornament appears below the horse's belly, and a further ring or annulet is positioned in front of the animal. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or inscription, consistent with the uninscribed issues of the Corieltauvi tribe. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to modern Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, and their coinage is unusual among British Celtic tribes for showing a prolonged, relatively sophisticated development of abstract design without ever adopting the inscribed issues that southern tribes borrowed from Gaulish and Roman practice. The Torksey type takes its name from the find concentration around that Lincolnshire location, suggesting either a mint site or a major redistribution point — the distinction matters and remains unresolved.
At 1.2g, this is fractional coinage in practical terms, likely used in high-value exchanges rather than everyday trade.
