| Reverse description | Stylised lunate horse advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic manner characteristic of Corieltauvian coinage. The horse's body is composed of bold curvilinear forms, with a prominent crescent-shaped body outline and limbs depicted as angular, disjointed elements. A small rider or charioteer figure may be indicated above. The retrograde inscription AVN T COST appears in two registers, above and below the horse, referencing the issuing authority or ruler of the tribe. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the modern East Midlands, and their coinage developed later than that of their southern neighbors, with legends appearing only in the final decades before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. The abbreviated names on their coins — including sequences like AVN T COST — are thought to refer to paired rulers or magistrates governing jointly, a governing arrangement apparently distinctive to this tribe, though the exact individuals behind the abbreviations remain unresolved in scholarship.
ABC 1932 falls within a tight chronological window that ends abruptly with conquest.
