A resized image of Late Iron Age gold stater

An inscribed gold 'North-East Coast' stater attributed to the Corieltavi. The coin is inscribed DVM[NO] the obverse and 'TIGIR-SENO' on the reverse.

Where two names are given on British Iron Age coins they are thought to be united dynastically. In this specific case the father of TIGIR-SENO might have had a name beginning with the letters DVMNO (for example Dumnovellaunos or Dumnocoveros).
