Beschrijving voorzijde Convex, largely plain field displaying a stylized tree or plant motif rendered in the characteristically abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The design features a central vertical stem with opposed diagonal branches terminating in pellet-form buds or leaves, occupying the left portion of the flan. A single prominent pellet appears below the tree in the lower field. The remainder of the flan is blank and gently convex, consistent with the die-struck fabric typical of late Iron Age British coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on the modern Cotswolds, and their coinage sequence is one of the better-documented among British Celtic issues precisely because several types carry inscribed names — Corio among them. Whether these names denote kings, magistrates, or some other authority remains genuinely contested; the tribal structure of late Iron Age Britain didn't map neatly onto the coin-issuing hierarchies of Gaul or Rome. Corio is attested on only a small cluster of types, making the absolute chronology tight and the total surviving population correspondingly modest.
