Gold 1/4 Stater Torksey Quarter

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.
