| Aversbeschreibung | Stylised abstract design in the Celtic La Tène tradition, dominated by two opposed confronting crescents at centre, their open faces forming a symmetrical composition sometimes interpreted as schematic moon faces or masks. The field is populated with multiple pellets arranged in clusters and a series of concentric ring-and-pellet motifs — annulets with central pellets — distributed across the upper and lower registers. The overall composition is highly geometric and non-figurative, hammered on an irregular flan with characteristic surface texture. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised Celtic horse prances to the right across the central field, rendered in the characteristic abstract La Tène manner with a curved, arched body and segmented legs. The mane is depicted as a series of curved lines or pellets. Below the horse is a decorative ground line composed of a ladder or box pattern filled with pellets. The upper field features prominent concentric ring-and-pellet motifs (annulets) in the upper left and upper right corners, with additional pellet clusters scattered throughout the field. No inscription or legend is present. |

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, and their gold stater series developed through progressive abstraction from imported Macedonian prototypes — by the time this type was struck, the original source imagery had been reduced over generations of copying into geometric fragments. The Freckenham hoard, discovered in Suffolk in 1885, gave this type its name and provided the primary reference assemblage for the late Icenian gold series.
These were struck in the final decades before Roman conquest fundamentally disrupted native coin production across southern and eastern Britain.
