| Aversbeschreibung | Abstracted Celtic design featuring two solid crescents placed back-to-back at the centre of the field, with rows of pellets projecting outward from each concave face. A V-shaped motif is positioned at each terminal point of the paired crescents, emphasising the angular geometry characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic die-work. A triad of pellets appears both above and below the central crescent device, providing symmetrical balance across the flan. The overall composition is non-figural and typical of the geometric abstraction employed by Iceni tribal moneyers. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised horse advances to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner characteristic of Iceni tribal coinage, with a notably large, rounded head depicted with a closed mouth. A six-pointed star occupies the field below the horse, serving as a principal subsidiary symbol. A pellet rosette, commonly described as a daisy motif, is positioned above the horse in the upper field. The composition reflects the highly abstract treatment of the horse type derived from the Macedonian gold stater prototype, as interpreted through successive generations of Celtic die-cutters in eastern Britain. |

The Freckenham hoard, discovered in Suffolk in 1866, contained a concentration of Iceni gold staters that helped define this entire type group. The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk and maintained gold coinage production into the early decades of Roman occupation — a striking assertion of tribal continuity under increasingly uncomfortable political circumstances. Augustus's settlement with client kings in Britain left some tribes nominal autonomy, and coinage was one of the few remaining expressions of it.
Van Arsdell 620-09 is among the better-documented Iceni varieties, with the Freckenham find context providing the primary archaeological anchor for its dating window.
