| Descripción del anverso | Broadly plain, deeply convex flan characteristic of Celtic hammered gold coinage, presenting an essentially blank obverse field — the standard convention for this South Ferriby series. The surface is undecorated and devoid of legend, effigy, or subsidiary motifs, reflecting the highly abstracted artistic tradition of the Corieltauvi tribe. Minor surface irregularities and flow lines are consistent with hand-hammered production on a roughly prepared gold blank. |

| Descripción del reverso | Dynamic and highly stylised Celtic design in high relief, centred on a swirling, rotary composition characteristic of the South Ferriby Phallic / Transitional Type Three series attributed to the Corieltauvi. The field features a prominent phallic motif rendered in bold curvilinear lines, flanked by spiralling scrollwork elements terminating in pellets, with lunate or crescent-shaped subsidiary forms arranged around the central device. The peripheral zone displays a beaded or notched border formed by the irregular flan edge, and a small pellet appears at the lower field. The overall design retains traces of its Gallo-Belgic prototype while exhibiting the highly abstracted, non-figurative aesthetic typical of late British Celtic coinage. No legend or inscription is present. |

The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the East Midlands and Lincolnshire, and their coinage developed through a long devolutionary process from Macedonian gold staters imported into Britain centuries earlier. The South Ferriby types represent a late stage in that process, by which point the original imagery had fragmented almost beyond recognition through successive generations of copying by celators working without reference to the prototype.
The "phallic" designation in this type name derives from a specific die characteristic identified by numismatists in the abstract forms that emerged from this copying tradition — not an intentional design choice, but a product of stylistic drift. Van Arsdell's sequencing places this piece within a tightly defined transitional phase between identifiable South Ferriby subtypes.
