| Descripción del anverso | Highly abstracted derivative of a laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the characteristic late Celtic Iron Age style. The wreath is depicted with leaves turned inward, accompanied by a cloak motif and flanking crescents. A prominent spike flanked by two crescents rises from the design field, while a stylised yoke-like element appears to the right of the curls. The hair curls are rendered almost as full circles rather than conventional crescents, reflecting advanced stylistic abstraction. Small pellets are scattered near the crescents and spike, and a diagonal linear depression is visible to the right of the curl cluster. |

| Descripción del reverso | Disarticulated horse depicted in sinuous motion facing left, rendered in the fully abstracted La Tène Celtic tradition. The neck is composed of two distinct curves, and the body elements are dispersed across the field in characteristic British Iron Age style. A pelleted sun motif, resembling a sunflower, appears below the horse. A so-called coffee bean shape is positioned in front of the horse. Above, a distinctive wreath-like motif formed of double V-shapes points left, downward, and right. A curved exergual line defines the lower boundary of the design. |

The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire, and their coinage — including this stater type — was being struck at precisely the moment Caesar's two expeditions to Britain (55 and 54 BC) were disrupting political alliances across the south and east of the island. Whether that pressure rippled as far north as Corieltauvian lands is debated, but the dating of this type places it squarely within that turbulent window.
The "V-Type" designation reflects a specific stylistic grouping within the North East Coast series, catalogued as Van Arsdell 805-07 and assigned ABC 1728. Gold content in Corieltauvian staters had already begun the slow debasement visible in later tribal issues — this type still sits at the relatively pure end of that decline.
