Reverse description 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.
