| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a large territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British Celtic issues for frequently showing paired or sequential names — possibly indicating joint rulership, a dynastic arrangement with no close parallel elsewhere in pre-Roman Britain. This tiny silver fraction circulated in the decades immediately before Claudius's invasion of 43 AD effectively ended indigenous coin production across most of the island.
ABC 1848 is among the smallest denominations the tribe produced. At half a unit, these were struck for real transactional use, not prestige display.
