| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised wolf or boar-like quadruped facing left, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner with exaggerated musculature and curvilinear body detailing. The figure is set within a rectilinear panel defined by a pellet border along the lower edge and a crescent-and-arc decorative frieze along the upper register. Additional pellets and annulets occupy the surrounding field, consistent with the Corieltauvian artistic tradition. The design is struck on an irregular flan typical of late Iron Age British coinage, with moderate relief and no inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied the East Midlands and Lincolnshire basin during the late Iron Age, and their coinage developed largely independent of the Kentish tribes who had the most direct exposure to Gaulish monetary influence. This unit belongs to a class named for the abstracted canine figure long interpreted as a wolf — an identification that remains debated among specialists, with some arguing the animal is too ambiguous to classify with confidence.
No mint site has been archaeologically confirmed for Corieltauvi coinage. Most examples enter the record through metal detector finds across Lincolnshire and Leicestershire.
