Gold Stater North East Coast Right Type with Sun

The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage developed from Gallo-Belgic prototypes imported into Britain before local striking began. This type — the Northeast Coast Right series — represents a phase of that transition, when Corieltavian smiths were producing increasingly abstracted derivatives of the Macedonian gold stater of Philip II, the original template having traveled northwest through Gaul over two centuries of trade and tribal exchange.

The tribe is notable for appearing to have operated a joint or collegiate leadership, with coin legends occasionally naming paired rulers rather than a single king — an arrangement without close parallel among British Iron Age issuers.
