| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic idiom typical of Late Iron Age Icenian coinage, with a large open circular head. Above the horse's back appears a distinctive crown-like motif composed of an arch with two lobes, each lobe containing two pellets, creating a symmetrical decorative element. A pellet triad is positioned beneath the horse, serving as a ground line. The overall composition displays the characteristic dissolution of classical equine imagery into abstract geometric forms seen across the Freckenham series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Freckenham group of Iceni gold staters takes its name from the Suffolk hoard discovered in 1867, which brought a coherent typological family into focus for the first time. The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their coinage — produced without a centralised mint in any Roman sense — circulated through a tribal economy that Rome tolerated, then dismantled. After the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, client-king arrangements briefly preserved Iceni autonomy, but the tribe's gold coinage had effectively ceased before that accommodation was even reached.
Van Arsdell 624-04 is among the finer die-linked varieties within the Freckenham sequence.
