| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylised boar striding to right occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition with a bristly dorsal ridge, a characteristically curled tail, and solid hindlegs; notably, the shoulder bears no spear. The forelegs are depicted in a distinctive W-shaped arrangement, with the upper right foreleg exhibiting a defined elbow joint. Above the boar, a large pelletal solar motif — comprising a pellet-in-ring set within a surrounding ring of pellets, often described as an anemone or solar rosette — dominates the upper field. A triskele device, sometimes rendered in an X-form or with avian qualities, appears above the boar's head, while a single pellet-in-ring is placed above the rump. The lower field is empty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the modern East Midlands, and their coinage developed largely in isolation from the more Continental-influenced output of southeastern tribes. The "X-Type" designation within their silver series reflects a classificatory grouping rather than any tribal name — the Corieltauvi left no written record, and attribution rests entirely on findspot distribution. The proto-boar motif without a spear distinguishes this from related issues in ways that likely carried meaning to its users, though whether that meaning was dynastic, ritual, or purely regional remains unresolved.
