| Aversbeschreibung | Highly stylised and abstracted laureate head derived from a classical prototype, rendered in the fluid Celtic curvilinear tradition. The facial features are dissolved into sweeping lentoid and comma-shaped relief elements, with bold raised arcs suggesting the hair or wreath above. Two prominent pellet-and-arc motifs in the lower field represent the vestigial eyes and nose of the original Hellenistic head. The overall composition is characteristic of the late British Iron Age die-cutting style, emphasising decorative rhythm over representational fidelity. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British Celtic issues for showing evidence of joint rulership — several types carry paired names, suggesting a tribal governance structure without parallel elsewhere in Iron Age Britain. The "Kite" designation is a modern typological nickname derived from the coin's distinctive spreading flan shape, not an ancient term.
ABC 1761 falls within the late Corieltavian sequence, produced in the final decades before Roman conquest fundamentally disrupted indigenous minting.
