| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage developed largely in isolation from the more Gaulish-influenced tribes to the south. This type belongs to a loose grouping of uninscribed silver units predating the tribe's later adoption of ruler names — meaning it was struck before any identifiable chief thought to put his name on the money, or before that practice had diffused this far north.
The absence of a spear distinguishes this variety from related issues and is the primary diagnostic for the ABC 1782 attribution.
