The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British Celtic issues for frequently bearing paired names — interpreted by most specialists as joint rulership, possibly a king and a sub-king or consort. Esuprasu appears in this capacity alongside a senior name, though the precise political relationship remains unresolved.
Production almost certainly ceased with the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, which brought Corieltauvian independence to an abrupt end within a generation of this coin's striking.
