| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse strides to the right in the characteristic abstract manner of Corieltauvian die-cutters, with body elements reduced to bold geometric forms. An eight-spoked wheel is prominently placed above the horse, serving as the principal reverse type device and lending this issue its conventional classification as the 'Wheel Type'. A pellet-in-ring ornament appears before the horse, with an additional such device occasionally present below. The field is otherwise plain, and no inscription or legend is present, consistent with the pre-literate coinage of the tribe during this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory in what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage developed largely in isolation from the more Romanized tribes of the southeast. The "Evans Wheel" designation comes from John Evans, whose 1864 work The Coins of the Ancient Britons established much of the foundational typology still referenced today. These small silver units were almost certainly used in elite exchange rather than everyday commerce — the denomination is too small for major transactions and too precious for casual use.
