The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory in what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage — unlike that of the more southerly tribes — shows relatively limited contact with Roman iconographic influence even as Roman power pressed into Britain during the first century AD. The name Esuprasu appears on a small cluster of issues and almost certainly denotes a ruler, though whether sole or joint authority with other named individuals on related coinage remains unresolved in the scholarship.
Production ceased permanently with the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, which extinguished independent Corieltauvian coinage entirely.
