| Obverse description | Entirely blank field, devoid of any design, inscription, or decorative element. The flan is of irregular, hand-struck form with a slightly concave surface typical of Late Iron Age Celtic hammered coinage. The plain obverse is a defining characteristic of this South Ferriby Domino type, distinguishing it from related Corieltauvian silver units. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to modern Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and are unusual among British Celtic tribes for apparently issuing coinage under joint or paired magistrates — the "domino" types being associated with this administrative arrangement, though the precise political structure behind it remains unresolved. South Ferriby types take their name from the Lincolnshire findspot of a significant hoard discovered in the nineteenth century. The fabric on these small units is notoriously inconsistent, with irregular flans a feature of the series rather than an exception.
