| Reverse description | A stylised horse facing right, rendered in the schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of Corieltauvian Iron Age coinage, with the body composed of bold curved and linear strokes. Above and around the horse are scattered decorative elements including pellets, annulets, and curvilinear motifs. To the left of the horse appears the letter E, the identifying type-mark of this emission. The composition fills the irregular flan in a lively, dynamic arrangement reflecting the late Celtic artistic tradition of the East Midlands. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British Celtic issues for frequently bearing paired names — interpreted by most scholars as joint rulers or successive magistrates rather than a single monarch. "Lat Ison" belongs to this naming tradition, though whether the pairing indicates co-rule or sequential authority remains unresolved. The tribe submitted to Rome under Claudius around 43 AD, making this issue contemporary with the conquest itself.
