| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central wreath motif rendered in bold relief, flanked on each side by a linked pellet rosette composed of multiple annular pellets arranged in a circular cluster. The design is characteristically abstract in the La Tène Celtic tradition, with the vegetal and geometric elements filling the irregular flan. The surface is uneven due to the hammered fabric, with no inscriptions or legends present on this side. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse prancing to the right, depicted in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with segmented body. A triangular pellet group is placed beneath the tail. The inscription, rendered in a ligate form, appears above, below, and in front of the horse, reading VEP CORF, interpreted as a reference to Vepocomes, son of Cor, a ruler associated with the Corieltauvi tribe of eastern Britain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage — among the more prolific of British Iron Age issues — was still being struck right up to the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. The "Vepo Vepo" inscription remains incompletely understood; it may reference a ruler's name repeated for emphasis, a dual authority, or a mint formula, and no ancient source resolves it. These fractional silvers circulated in a region that saw relatively little direct Roman military pressure until the very end, meaning some specimens likely passed through hands that had no idea the legions were already landing in the south.
