Silver Unit Evans Wheel Type

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.
