| Beschrijving voorzijde | Deeply struck and somewhat worn field displaying a stylised wreath rendered in the Celtic abstract tradition, its branching elements rendered with characteristic curvilinear fluidity. A prominent central spike rises from the wreath, accompanied by a crescentic motif in the field. A tight cluster of six pellets is disposed above the wreath design, a diagnostic feature of this South Ferriby sub-type. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of hammered Celtic silver coinage of this period. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to modern Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British Celtic issues for showing a prolonged, apparently collegiate tribal authority rather than the named individual rulers common further south. The South Ferriby types are among the earliest silver fractions attributed to this group, likely circulating as small-denomination exchange media during a period when Julius Caesar's two expeditions to Britain — 55 and 54 BC — were disrupting trade networks and political alliances across southeastern and midland tribes alike.
The fabric on these tiny flans is notoriously inconsistent; the blanks were cast rather than hammered to shape before striking, which accounts for the irregular edges characteristic of the type.
