| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse prancing to the left, depicted in the abstract Celtic tradition with a beaded mane rendered as a series of raised pellets along the neck. A trefoil ornament appears below the body, and a triskele motif is placed beneath the horse's head. A pellet-in-ring symbol is positioned below the tail. A retrograde Latin inscription reading VEP appears above the horse, attributing the issue to the ruler Vepo. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage is notable for carrying paired names — likely joint rulers or magistrates — a practice unparalleled among British Celtic tribes. "Vepo Vepo" represents one of the more puzzling of these inscriptions, the name appearing twice, which has prompted debate about whether it denotes a single individual, a dynastic repetition, or a scribal convention borrowed imperfectly from Continental minting practice. No historical source names these figures directly.
Production ceased abruptly with the Claudian invasion of 43 AD.
