Stater. Probably North East Coast Reduced Weight stater of the Corieltauvi, Corieltauvian B, as per Van Arsdell 804-1. Van Arsdell dates this to 55-45 BC; this equates to Haselgrove Period 2 phases 5-6, or Rudd and Cottam's ABC phases 5-6. This coin is virtually in mint condition, [just] exceeding the heaviest weight Van Arsdell suggests for the type, and with all fine detail unworn, and agreeing exactly with his detailed description.

Obverse description: Abstracted head of Apollo right, with a spike with two crescents, wreath with leaves inwards and those leaves made up of small rectangles.

Reverse description: Disjointed horse left. Pellet below horse, horses neck made up of two curves, a 'coffee bean' in front of and behind the horse, and zig zags between exergual lines.

Diameter: 20.5mm, Weight: 6.20gms, die axis: probably 5.
