Interesting fact
The Corieltauvian D coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized horse and rider. This design is believed to represent the Celtic goddess Epona, who was revered across much of Celtic Europe as a protector of horses and fertility. The inclusion of this image on the coin suggests that the Corieltauvi tribe placed great importance on the symbolism of Epona and may have used the coin as a form of religious or cultural expression.
