| Beschrijving keerzijde | Androcephalic horse with a human head, bridled and galloping to the right. Above the horse, vestiges of a charioteer's head and a pointed staff are visible, remnants of the earlier chariot group motif. Between the horse's legs, a boar serves as a distinctive tribal symbol or control mark. A barrier or lyre-like object appears in the field before the horse, all executed in the bold, abstracted Celtic artistic style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Coriosolites, an Armorican tribe occupying what is now the Côtes-d'Armor region of Brittany, produced one of the most stylistically distinct coinages in the ancient Celtic world. Their billon staters are classified into at least seven die-linked classes by the work of Gruel and Morin, with Class VI distinguished primarily by specific treatments of the hair boar and pellet arrangements that allow attribution without physical context. The dies themselves show progressive degradation across the sequence, suggesting continuous production rather than discrete minting episodes.
A massive hoard found at Jersey in 1935 — over 12,000 Coriosolitan coins — remains the definitive source for die study of this series.
