| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised Celtic horse depicted in motion, facing left, rendered in the abstract curvilinear tradition of Corieltauvian coinage. The horse's body is boldly modelled in high relief, with exaggerated musculature and a pellet above the back. Surrounding the horse are decorative Celtic motifs including a star or asterisk symbol to the left and a wreath-like border element. The abbreviated legend VEP CORF appears in the field, interpreted as referencing Vepocomes, son of Cor, attributing the issue to a named Corieltauvian authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage — including this fractional unit — was still being struck right up to the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. The "Vepo Vepo" inscription remains imperfectly understood; whether it records a single ruler's name repeated for emphasis, two co-rulers, or a title is still debated among Celtic numismatic specialists.
At 0.65g, these fractions circulated in a tribal economy where fine silver divisions mattered for exchange, yet so few survive in attributable condition that the die linkage across the series remains incompletely mapped.
