| Reverse description | A disjointed, highly celticized horse progressing to the left, rendered in fragmented abstract form with the body broken into component pellets, curved lines, and crescents typical of late Iron Age British coinage. Various subsidiary symbols including pellets and curved ornaments occupy the field around the horse. The legend VEP CORF appears in two parts, divided above and below the horse, and is executed in crude Latin-influenced lettering. The overall style reflects the mature Corieltauvian die-cutting tradition, associating this issue with a named authority or magistrate. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a large territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire, and their coinage is distinctive for carrying paired names — interpreted as joint rulers or magistrates rather than sole kings. The VEP CORF pairing is one of several such combinations documented from this tribe, and the political arrangement it implies has no direct parallel among southeastern British coinages of the same period.
No Roman conquest disruption accounts for the end of this issue. It simply stops, as most Corieltauvian series do, sometime in the years immediately preceding or following the Claudian invasion of 43 AD.
