Gold Stater Freckenham Flower Big Wheel Type

The Freckenham Flower types are attributed to the Iceni of what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, a tribe whose coinage tradition developed largely through contact with the Belgic tribes crossing from Gaul rather than direct Roman influence. The "Big Wheel" designation distinguishes this die variety from the related Freckenham types by the prominent radiating pattern on the reverse, a distinction formalized by Van Arsdell in his 1989 corpus.

Many Iceni staters enter the record as hoard finds rather than excavation finds — the Freckenham hoard itself, discovered in Suffolk, gave this flower series its name.
