1/4 Stater 'Snettisham type'

The Snettisham type takes its name from the Norfolk hoard site where some of the most significant Late Iron Age gold work in Britain was recovered — including the famous Snettisham Torc. The Iceni were producing coinage in this period not primarily as a market currency but as a medium for elite exchange, tribute, and warrior reward. Precise attribution to the Iceni rather than neighboring groups remains debated among specialists, and the tight weight standard of the quarter stater suggests careful control over gold content even at small denominations.
