| Reverse description | Celticized horse advancing left in a highly stylized abstract rendering, with the body composed of bold curved lines and pellet ornaments. A crescent or lunate form appears beneath the horse, and a spiral or triskele motif is visible below. The legend 'TIGIR SENO' is distributed above and below the horse in the field, typical of late Corieltauvian coinage. The composition reflects the mature Celtic abstraction of the Corieltauvian coinage series attributed to the joint rulers Dumnocoveros and Volisios. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a substantial territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and are unusual among British Iron Age tribes in showing evidence of joint or sequential rulership — the names on their coinage sometimes appear in combination or succession rather than singly. DVMNO TIGIR SENO may represent a compound authority rather than a single individual, a reading that remains contested among specialists. No Roman literary source names these rulers directly, leaving the coins themselves as the primary evidence for Corieltauvian political structure in the years immediately preceding full Roman annexation.
