Description: | Silver, of a dark grey hueCoin. Hammered unit of the Corieltauvi, Hostidius Type of 55-45 BC or South Ferriby Type of 45-10 BC BC; the obverse resembles the latter most closely while the reverse resembles the former. The best match, though imprecisely so, is perhaps with Van Arsdell 877-1. The coin is chipped and has lost about one quarter of its area.Obverse description: Stylised boar with prominent bristles (a Hostidius trait) right with pellet below boar's tail (as for South Ferriby); unlike published examples, the boar's front leg does not retain two lines making up its upper part. A worn ring of pellets above boar is partly off flan.Reverse description: Celticised horse right, with collar.Diameter: 14.8mm, Thickness (at edge): 1.6mm, Weight: 1.08gms, die axis: probably 3.
