| Obverse description | Essentially plain field with a smooth, unmarked silver surface typical of this issue type. On certain specimens, faint vestigial traces of a boar motif may be discerned, representing a ghosted remnant of the die tradition from which this type descends. The absence of a defined design is characteristic of the South Ferriby series, where the obverse was largely abandoned as a decorative field. No legend, inscription, or border is present. |

| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a territory roughly corresponding to the East Midlands, and their coinage developed later and more idiosyncratically than that of tribes further south. The "South Ferriby" designation comes from the Lincolnshire find site where a significant hoard first drew systematic attention to this regional type. Unlike many British tribal issues, Corieltauvi coins were likely produced by multiple minting centres across a diffuse tribal confederacy rather than a single controlled mint — which accounts for the considerable variation collectors encounter within a single type classification.
