| Beschrijving voorzijde | A boar advancing to the right with curvilinear, anti-clockwise curled tail and a spear depicted as penetrating the shoulder, rendered in the characteristic Celtic schematic style. A large solar rosette or anemone motif occupies the upper field, accompanied by an elaborate spiral element. An S-shaped or reversed S-shaped device frequently appears below the boar, with various additional subsidiary motifs distributed throughout the field. The design is executed in the fluid, abstracted manner typical of Corieltauvian Celtic coinage of the late first century BC. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Corieltauvi coinage were produced by forgers working within the same communities as legitimate coin users — not imported fakes, but locally made pieces intended to pass in everyday exchange. The silver plating technique, applied over a bronze core, mimics the appearance of a solid silver unit closely enough that detection required handling rather than sight. That such counterfeits exist for this type at all suggests the Proto Boar with Spear unit circulated widely enough to be worth forging, a modest but useful indicator of its reach across the East Midlands territory.
