| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted design derived from a disintegrated classical prototype, rendered in the distinctive late Iron Age Celtic manner of the Iceni. The field is dominated by a central vertical element flanked by radiating curved lines suggesting a debased tree or palm motif. A crescent-like annular form occupies the upper left, accompanied by a central pellet, while additional pellets are scattered across the field. Flowing curved lines and wave patterns fill the lower register, imparting a dynamic, organic quality characteristic of Icenian die work. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hammered production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their fractional electrum coinage circulated during a period of intensifying Roman pressure following Caesar's expeditions and the tributary arrangements imposed on British tribes in their aftermath. Fractions like this served real transactional needs in a regional economy where full staters were too valuable for ordinary exchange. The Irstead Trefoil classification derives from the Norfolk findspot cluster around Irstead, with die-linked groupings allowing numismatists to distinguish Icenian B from the broader trefoil series.
