Driffield (East Yorkshire) Hoard, 2003


Dr John Sills noted: "Around 50 Corieltauvian staters, including a couple of plated coins, have been declared so far from the Driffield hoard. The great majority are from late in the South Ferriby series, but there are a handful of coins of VEP CORF, ESUPRASU and the last ruler of the tribe, DUMNOVELLAUNOS. The find is notable for the number of domino and kite types, scarce issues which stand at the very end of the uninscribed series; 11 domino and no less than 19 kite staters have been declared so far. Partly as a result of the hoard the domino type now die-links into the tail end of the uniface South Ferriby sequence, fixing its position within the series. The kite staters seem to follow on immediately from the domino type, despite their slightly higher weight."
