| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised boar facing left, depicted in the characteristic Y-leg convention of Corieltauvi coinage, with the legs rendered as forked or bifurcated lines beneath the body. The animal is shown with a prominent arched back, a small curled tail, and a group of pellets to the right of the haunches serving as decorative field ornaments. A large crescent or arc motif appears above the boar, and a wavy line is rendered below, possibly indicating ground or a decorative baseline. The design is entirely anepigrammatic and executed in a bold, schematised Celtic style typical of this tribe's silver unit series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the modern East Midlands, and their coinage was among the most prolific of any British Iron Age tribe — yet individual die pairings remain poorly understood, with attribution still evolving through ongoing finds from detector surveys. The "Y-Leg" designation is a modern typological classifier distinguishing a specific treatment of the boar's forelegs across die groups, not a contemporary name.
At 1.4g, this unit sits toward the lighter end of Corieltavian silver production, consistent with a gradual weight reduction documented across the mid-first century BC as silver content and flan size contracted region-wide.
