| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised Celtic horse advancing left, depicted in the highly abstracted curvilinear manner typical of Iceni coinage. A large torc is shown encircling the horse's neck, a defining diagnostic feature of this 'Walsingham Wonder' type. The forelegs are rendered with a doubled upper foreleg motif in the upper right. A cross or five-pointed star occupies the area beneath the horse, while a four-spoked wheel device appears above. No legends or inscriptions are present, consistent with the uninscribed coinage of the Iceni in this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their coinage — produced in the decades immediately before and after the Roman conquest of 43 AD — reflects a tribal economy sophisticated enough to mint fractional denominations for smaller transactions. The "Walsingham Wonder" designation derives from the find concentration around the Walsingham area of Norfolk, where metal detector recoveries have significantly shaped the known corpus of this type.
At 0.9 g, these fractions were struck from dies shared across a narrow window of production, and the type disappears entirely from the archaeological record following the Boudican revolt of 60–61 AD, after which Iceni political and monetary structures were permanently dismantled by Rome.
