| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heavily degraded obverse of a contemporary counterfeit struck on a bronze flan with a thin gold wash, now largely lost to corrosion. The surface is nearly featureless, retaining only faint traces of a design in low relief, consistent with the simplified or blundered rendering typical of Iron Age forgeries imitating the Corieltauvi stater type. Green patina is visible in several areas, revealing the base-metal core beneath the plating. The irregular flan edge and poor surface preparation are characteristic of clandestine production intended to imitate official tribal coinage in circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Iron Age staters are not medieval forgeries or modern fabrications — they were made at the time, circulating alongside genuine issues, almost certainly produced by smiths who understood exactly what they were doing. The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now Lincolnshire and the East Midlands, and their coinage circulated in a tribal economy where detection of a plated piece required either cutting the flan or significant wear through to the bronze core.
The "cf." references across every major catalog confirm no precise die-match has been established for this piece specifically.
