背面描述	A stylised horse passant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the distinctive abstract Celtic artistic tradition; the forelegs are doubled, a diagnostic feature of this Allen ZB type. Above the horse, a ring or arc of pellets forms a solar rosette or celestial motif. Additional pellet groupings are scattered in the lower field and flanking areas, while curved linear elements to the upper left may represent a vestigial wheel or boar derivative motif. The composition is entirely anepigraphic, with no legend or inscription.

附加信息	The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and are unusual among British Iron Age tribes for apparently operating without a single paramount ruler — their coinage shows paired and sometimes triple name combinations suggesting shared or collegiate authority. The "Allen ZB" classification follows D.F. Allen's foundational typological work on Celtic British coins, which remains the baseline for Corieltauvian series despite subsequent refinements. At half a gram, these fractional pieces served real transactional functions, most likely in high-value exchange among elites rather than everyday commerce.
