| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central latticed square motif flanked by two opposed crescents arranged symmetrically across the field. A projecting branch terminates above and below the central device, framing the composition vertically. A pellet-in-ring ornament appears to each side of the latticed square, providing lateral balance. The design is rendered in the abstract, stylised tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age Icenian coinage, with no inscriptions or figural elements. The overall composition reflects the decorative geometric aesthetic common to the British Celtic quarter stater series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, operating largely outside direct Roman commercial infrastructure until the catastrophic aftermath of Prasutagus's death in 60 AD triggered Boudica's revolt. Coins of this type predate that rupture, circulating during a period when the tribe maintained a degree of autonomous administration under nominal Roman oversight. The "Windflower" series takes its collector name from the abstract floral pattern on the reverse — a typological label assigned by Celtic numismatists rather than any ancient designation.
At 0.9g, these quarter staters represent the smallest denomination in Iceni gold coinage, almost certainly used in high-value transactions rather than everyday exchange. ABC#1477 is among the less frequently encountered varieties within the broader Windflower grouping.
