| Beschrijving voorzijde | A highly stylized Celtic boar depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the distinctive La Tène artistic tradition with exaggerated anatomical features. The animal's prominent dorsal ridge is elaborately defined by a row of raised pellets or beads, conveying the characteristic bristled spine of the boar. Above the figure, a pair of opposed crescents flank a central trefoil motif, while pellet-in-annulet symbols occupy the left and right fields. The entire composition reflects the abstracted, curvilinear aesthetic of British Celtic coinage of the late Iron Age. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Celticized horse rendered in the abstract La Tène style, advancing to the left with disjointed limbs characteristic of British Celtic coinage. The body is depicted with typical schematic distortion, with limbs reduced to angular, separated elements. Beneath the horse, a row of pellets forms a ground line. Above, a crescent surmounts a pellet-in-annulet device, occupying the upper field. Additional curvilinear and geometric decorative elements appear in the surrounding field, consistent with the artistic conventions of Corieltauvian silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the modern East Midlands, and their coinage developed later than that of the southeastern tribes — largely insulated from direct Roman commercial pressure until Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC began reshaping trade networks across Britain. This proto-boar type sits at the early end of Corieltauvi silver production, when the tribe's moneyers were still working out a consistent iconographic vocabulary. The "unit" denomination itself reflects modern scholarly convention for fractional Celtic silver; no ancient denomination system is implied.
