| Beschrijving voorzijde | Abstract decorative composition featuring two stylised corn-ear or wreath segments arranged symmetrically on either side of a central pellet-in-ring motif. A pellet-in-ring ornament appears at each terminal end of the design. The entire composition is framed within two concentric plain lines. Flanking crescents, occasionally pelleted, occupy each lateral field, with pellets or annulets filling the interior of the crescents. The overall style is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic abstract coinage of the Iceni. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Snettisham Corn Ears type takes its name from the 1948 discovery at Ken Hill, Snettisham, Norfolk — a hoard site that eventually yielded, across multiple finds through 1990, over 170 torcs and a substantial quantity of coins and bullion. Whether the deposits represent a single emergency burial or accumulated ritual offerings remains unresolved among archaeologists. The Iceni occupied roughly modern Norfolk and Suffolk and maintained enough political cohesion to issue coinage for decades before Roman administration dismantled tribal autonomy following Boudica's revolt in 60–61 AD.
