I believe it is Galena. But they use a special extract which can not really be cloned by standard hop additions. You can get close...

and I found galena hops there and the comment seems good...
(Great neutral bittering hop, whereas later additions can give a
blackcurrant aroma & strong fruity character. The hop of Corona.
If you could choose just1 bittering hop, this would be the hop of choice.)
But how much hop pellet for a 23 lt brew 10 g ?
thanks again for the tips

Well, the amount of hops you use are going to be governed by the recipe you use, and personal taste. Have a search around these forums. Plenty of threads on Corona!
