Gold 1/4 Stater Snettisham Corn Ears

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.
