| Beschrijving voorzijde | A boar advancing right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, with solid legs and a curly upturned tail. A spear is depicted piercing the boar's shoulder, terminating at the top in a two- or three-pronged fork with a pellet positioned between each prong. Above the boar's back, a large solar rosette (anemone) is prominent, accompanied by either a spiral motif — rendered as a ragged cross or swastika — or a horn device. Above the rump appears either a ringed pellet or a sun-and-moon symbol, while an S-shaped motif (occasionally more C-shaped, sometimes flanked by pellets above and below) occupies the lower field, and a distinctive 'bat' device is present before the boar's head. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and are unusual among British Celtic tribes for apparently operating a joint or collegial leadership — several of their coin issues carry paired names, suggesting two rulers struck currency simultaneously. This piece predates those named issues and belongs to the earlier uninscribed phase, when the tribe was still developing its minting conventions independently of direct Caesarian influence, despite Julius Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC putting coastal tribes under immediate political pressure.
