| Additional information |
The Iceni occupied a client kingdom relationship with Rome during this period, paying tribute and maintaining nominal autonomy under rulers whose names occasionally appear on later coinage. The "Gisleham Glory" designation is a modern collector name derived from the Norfolk findspot type — these uninscribed or partially inscribed quarter staters circulated in the territory roughly corresponding to modern Norfolk and Suffolk, a region where metal detector finds have dramatically expanded the known corpus since the 1990s.
At 0.9g, the flan is barely enough gold to work with, and die alignment on this type is frequently eccentric — a structural feature of the series, not damage.
