| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised boar advancing to the right in the characteristic 'shrimp' idiom of the South Ferriby series, the body reduced to an elongated, segmented form with a pronounced dorsal ridge rendered as a row of raised bristles. The forelegs are depicted as a Y-shaped bifurcation, a diagnostic feature of this type. A single beaded annulet is positioned above the figure, with a further annulet placed behind; no annulet appears below. The design is executed in the abstract, geometric Celtic artistic tradition, with no inscription or legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the East Midlands, and their coinage developed along lines distinct from the better-documented southern tribes. The "South Ferriby" types take their name from finds concentrated around the Humber estuary — a corridor of trade and movement that shaped the region's coin use more than any political center did. The "shrimp" designation is a modern collector's term referencing the abstract, almost crescent-like distortion of the horse type as it degraded through successive die generations.
Corieltauvi issues are frequently found as single metal-detector finds rather than hoards, suggesting active low-level circulation rather than deliberate deposition.
