Comment
Van Arsdell lists different varieties with slightly different lettering and either a pellet in ring or a trefoil below the horse's tail (V 934-971) https://vanarsdellcelticcoinageofbritain.com/plates-catalog-listings_ccb3/plate_42_ccb3.htmlInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Corielatuvian N coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse (back) side features a Roman-style eagle, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman rule in Britain.
