Gold Stater South Ferriby Legs / Transitional Type Two

The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now Lincolnshire and the East Midlands, and their coinage developed in near-isolation from the Gallo-Belgic imports that shaped tribes further south. The South Ferriby series represents a locally evolved tradition, the designs degrading through successive die generations into increasingly abstract forms — a process that was deliberate stylistic convention, not incompetence. "Transitional Type Two" places this stater at a precise evolutionary moment within that sequence, catalogued by Van Arsdell as part of a die study tracking the progressive abstraction across the series.
