| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised lunate horse advancing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner typical of late Iron Age British coinage. The horse features a disproportionately large, round head with a pellet-in-ring motif, and a pellet at the centre of the body. A question-mark-shaped object appears below the tail, a recurring device on Corieltauvi issues. The tribal inscription AVN T COST appears above and below the horse, frequently blundered or rendered retrograde, with the letter A consistently lacking a crossbar. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the East Midlands — Leicester, Lincoln, and surrounding areas — and were among the few British tribes to develop a sustained coinage tradition in the decades immediately before the Roman conquest of 43 AD. The "Aunt Cost" inscription remains one of the more debated in Celtic numismatics; the prevailing interpretation reads it as a dual magistrate formula, suggesting joint authority over the tribe's coinage rather than a single ruler's name, though no consensus on the individuals involved has been reached.
ABC 1929 places this type firmly within the final flourishing of autonomous Corieltavian issue before Roman administration rendered tribal coinage obsolete.
