| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain, uninscribed field with no central design, characteristic of the South Ferriby Plain type. On certain specimens, faint vestigial traces of a boar motif may be discernible, representing a degenerate survival of earlier prototypes. The surface is typically flat to slightly convex, with an irregular flan edge produced by the hammering process. No legend, inscription, or border is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of Corieltauvian coinage. The forequarters are rendered with doubled upper front legs, a diagnostic feature of this type. Above the horse, a large pelleted sun-ring occupies the upper field, typically set against an otherwise plain, uninscribed field. Depending on the variety, the horse may bear a necklace, a belt, or a mane (VA 877-03 and 877-05), or lack these adornments entirely (VA 877-07). No legend or border is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the modern East Midlands, and their coinage — including this plain-type unit — developed without the die-engraving sophistication seen in southern British tribes who had more direct contact with Gaulish prototypes. The deliberate absence of figural design on the plain types may reflect a distinct regional minting convention rather than technical limitation; the tribe produced more elaborate issues concurrently.
Hoards from Lincolnshire and Leicestershire remain the primary source of specimens, with the North Ferriby and South Ferriby findspot clusters giving this type its name.
