| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field divided by two parallel horizontal lines bearing the retrograde tribal inscription, flanked above and below by a stylised vertical wreath motif. The interstitial quarters are decorated with a ring of pellets enclosing a three-armed spiral, arranged in opposing diagonal positions. The composition reflects the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, with geometric and curvilinear ornament characteristic of late British Iron Age coinage. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Corieltauvian staters are not forgeries in the modern sense — they were produced and circulated within the same communities as the official issues, almost certainly by smiths who understood exactly what they were doing. The plated technique, a bronze core with gold foil or wash, suggests either metal shortage or deliberate profit-taking at a moment when the tribe's coinage was trusted enough to make imitation worthwhile.
Volisios Dumnocoveros is one of several paired-name rulers attested only through coinage — no other source confirms his existence. Whether the names represent co-rulers, a ruler and a magistrate, or father and son remains unresolved.
