| Beschrijving keerzijde | Disjointed Celtic horse advancing left, rendered in the highly abstracted La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of the Corieltauvi tribe. The horse's body is depicted in stylised curvilinear form, with the torso and haunches resolved into sweeping S-curves and bold relief lines; the legs are reduced to schematic strands terminating in small pellets or ring-and-dot terminals. A prominent ring-and-pellet motif appears to the right of the horse, functioning as a decorative filler element. The field is scattered with multiple raised pellets of varying sizes, distributed across the upper and lower registers. The design is entirely anepigraphy and exhibits the abstracted, energetic quality typical of north-east British Iron Age coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Plated staters — a bronze core struck with gold-washed dies or wrapped in gold foil — were not crude forgeries in the modern sense. Current scholarship leans toward official or semi-official production, possibly issued when gold supplies ran short but tribal obligations to pay warriors or meet ritual demands could not be deferred. The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage shows unusually collaborative issuing patterns, with some series bearing paired names suggesting joint leadership.
The "North East Coast Left" classification reflects die axis and stylistic grouping rather than findspot alone. Van Arsdell 804-04 places this among the later issues of the series, a period of increasing Roman pressure on tribal autonomy following Caesar's expeditions.
