| Reverse description | Highly abstracted Celtic horse motif occupying the majority of the reverse field, rendered in a bold, stylised manner with sinuous curved lines representing the body and limbs. A prominent triple-tailed or triskelion-like decorative element is visible beneath the horse, a hallmark feature of Corieltauvian stater coinage. Pellets and crescent forms are distributed across the field as subsidiary design elements. Above the horse, angular geometric forms suggest a chariot or driver in a heavily abstracted manner. The die is struck with characteristic irregular flan shape and no legible legend. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to modern Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, and their coinage developed later and more slowly than that of their southern neighbours. The 'H' classification within this stater series is a typological grouping rather than a tribal subdivision — the letters were assigned by scholars to impose order on a coinage that the tribe itself issued without centralised mint control or consistent authority marks.
No named ruler is associated with this type, which places it among the so-called uninscribed issues predating the handful of Corieltauvian coins that do carry abbreviated names.
