Comment
BMC 3296-3304Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Corieltauvian N coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized horse, which was a symbol of strength and power in Celtic culture, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a Roman Emperor, indicating the tribe's connection to the Roman Empire. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place during the period in which the coin was minted.
