| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted design derived ultimately from the Macedonian gold stater of Philip II, retaining vestigial elements of the original laureate head. The obverse field is dominated by bold, sweeping relief lines and pellet clusters representing a severely degraded wreath or hair arrangement, rendered in the characteristic late Iron Age Celtic artistic idiom. The overall composition is asymmetric and irregular, with deeply modelled relief surfaces typical of British hammered Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Corieltauvi occupied a large territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is among the most stylistically abstract in the British Iron Age series — the result of successive generations of die-cutters working from copies of copies of the original Macedonian prototype, each iteration drifting further from the source. This type sits at the earlier end of that tribal sequence, before the later issues began incorporating magistrate names, making precise attribution to individual rulers impossible.
No surviving hoard context firmly fixes the 55 BC date; it is a scholarly approximation based on typological sequence relative to the Gallic War disruptions.
