| Aversbeschreibung | Highly stylised abstract design derived from a Celtic artistic tradition, featuring a cruciform or divided field with curvilinear decorative elements filling each quadrant. The motif, characteristic of Corieltauvi transitional coinage, shows remnants of a debased wreath or pellet-and-arc composition arranged symmetrically around a central point. The die-struck surface exhibits the irregular flan typical of hand-hammered Celtic silver units of this period. No inscription or legend is present, consistent with the pre-epigraphic phase of Corieltauvi coinage. The artistic style reflects the distinctive La Tène decorative vocabulary employed by East Midlands Celtic moneyers. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Stylised boar-horse type rendered in the abstract curvilinear manner characteristic of Corieltauvi silver coinage of the transitional series. The principal motif depicts a highly schematised horse figure, its body broken into component geometric and flowing elements distributed across the field, with elongated bristle-like projections — here of the 'long bristles' variant — visible along the dorsal line. Ancillary decorative devices, possibly representing a boar above or below the horse, are suggested by additional curvilinear forms in the field. The composition is uninscribed and executed within an irregularly shaped hammered flan, consistent with mid-first-century BC Celtic minting practice in the East Midlands region. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the modern East Midlands, and their coinage developed largely in isolation from the more heavily Romanized tribes of the southeast. The "transitional" classification here refers to the gradual schematization of the horse motif across successive die generations — the bristle treatment being the diagnostic feature that allows typologists to sequence these issues relative to one another. This is attribution work built almost entirely on stylistic progression rather than any documentary record.
