| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heavily worn flan displaying vestigial traces of a complex figurative composition, conventionally interpreted as a boar motif derived from earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes, with some authorities identifying the abstracted design as a 'three men in a boat' or 'wolf and twins' scene facing right. The surface is extensively abraded, with only faint relief lines and pellet-like elements surviving amid the flat, irregular gold flan. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anepigraphic tradition of this Trinovantian series. The imagery reflects the progressive Celtic stylisation of classical figural prototypes into near-abstract decorative schemes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Clacton Star type belongs to a loose group of uninscribed gold staters and fractions circulating in southeast Britain before Roman administrative coinage displaced them. The Trinovantes, based in what is now Essex and Suffolk, were among the more powerful tribes of late Iron Age Britain — their territory later became the site of Camulodunum, the first Roman colonial capital. Whether these fractions functioned as trade currency, tribute payment, or warrior reward remains genuinely contested among Celtic numismatists.
Sills 414 is a tightly defined variety within his broader classification of the Clacton group.
