| Beschrijving voorzijde | Severely plain and nearly featureless obverse, as is characteristic of Corieltauvi contemporary counterfeits struck on a bronze core subsequently gold-plated. The surface is domed and convex, exhibiting a faint central swirl or boss — a vestigial echo of the abstracted wreath or hair pattern found on the prototype Gallo-Belgic stater tradition. The gold plating shows considerable wear and loss, exposing the underlying bronze substrate at several points, with an irregular, lumpy flan edge consistent with unofficial production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Corieltauvi staters are well documented and were likely produced close to the official mint source, possibly by the same craftsmen using rejected or unofficial dies. The gold-plated bronze technique — a bronze core with a thin wash of gold — was sophisticated enough to pass in everyday exchange, suggesting these circulated alongside genuine issues without obvious detection. The Vepo series itself is attributed to the late pre-conquest phase of Corieltauvi coinage, when Roman pressure on southern Britain was already reshaping tribal economies north of the Humber.
The abbreviated legend sequence on this type has generated significant debate over whether Vepo represents a personal name, a title, or a mint signature.
