背面描述	Highly stylised disjointed horse motif facing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition typical of Icenian quarter staters. The horse is represented by schematic components including a curved neck, pellet-and-ring ornaments, and linear limb elements dispersed across the field. A large wheel or ring symbol appears beneath the horse, flanked by additional pellets and decorative bosses. No inscription or legend is present. The overall composition reflects the advanced abstraction characteristic of the Snettisham type within Icenian numismatic production.

附加信息	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.
