| Aversbeschreibung | Stylised, highly abstracted head derived from the Apollo prototype of the Macedonian stater tradition, oriented to the right. The wreath is rendered with leaves pointing inward, accompanied by a cloak motif and crescent ornaments characteristic of Corieltauvian die engraving. A prominent spike projects from the design, bearing a single crescent; the terminal of the spike is occasionally bent to form a distinctive two-pronged hook element. The overall composition exhibits the bold, curvilinear reduction typical of Late Iron Age British Celtic coinage. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A lunate horse rendered in profile facing left, executed in the fluid, disjointed Celtic artistic idiom with the foreleg doubled — a diagnostic feature of the South Ferriby Wheel type. Above the horse, an anthropomorphic 'anchor' face device is prominently placed in the upper field, a characteristic motif of Corieltauvian coinage. Below the horse, a boldly rendered four-spoked wheel occupies the lower field, serving as the defining typological element of this series. The overall composition is asymmetric and densely packed, consistent with the abstract reverse designs of the Corieltauvi tribal coinage of the late pre-Roman Iron Age. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage — unlike that of many southern tribes — appears to have been issued collaboratively, with several types naming paired rulers rather than a single monarch. The South Ferriby types take their name from the Lincolnshire find site where a significant hoard brought them to scholarly attention, though examples have since turned up across the East Midlands in quantities suggesting genuine regional circulation rather than deliberate deposition.
The "Wheel" designation within the South Ferriby series distinguishes this specific die grouping from related stater types in the ABC sequence. Corieltavian gold staters of this period show a progressive stylistic abstraction traceable across die studies, making the ABC and Van Arsdell references essential for precise attribution within what looks, at a glance, like a uniform series.
