| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British tribal issues for regularly featuring paired names — almost certainly joint magistrates or co-rulers rather than monarchs in any conventional sense. "Vep Corf" follows that pattern. Whether these names denoted elected officials, dynastic pairs, or something else entirely remains unresolved, and the Corieltauvi left no written record to clarify it.
Production ceased abruptly with the Claudian invasion of 43 AD.
