| Beschrijving voorzijde | Essentially plain, convex field bearing faint vestigial traces of a crossed-wreath pattern derived from the Gallo-Belgic prototype. Three curved lines are discernible in low relief across the surface, representing the highly abstracted remnants of a laureate wreath design. The die-work is minimally decorated, consistent with the late Celtic coinage tradition of the Iceni, where the original Hellenistic imagery has been reduced to near-abstraction. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised Celtic horse is depicted advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract curvilinear manner characteristic of Iceni coinage. The horse features a small open head, a beaded mane, a pronounced double tail, and a doubled upper left foreleg. Above the horse, pellets and a pellet-in-ring motif are arranged in the field. Below the horse, a pellet-in-ring device is surrounded by a ring of pellets, serving as a key diagnostic feature of this Snettisham Fewer Pellets type. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Snettisham-type staters take their name from the great Snettisham hoard, unearthed in Norfolk across a series of finds beginning in 1948, which yielded one of the largest accumulations of Iron Age torcs and coinage ever recovered in Britain. The Iceni controlled the territory now roughly corresponding to Norfolk and Suffolk, and their gold coinage — produced in the decades immediately before Roman conquest — reflects a tribe that retained considerable wealth and autonomy right up to Claudius's invasion of 43 AD. The "Fewer Pellets" designation distinguishes this die variety from related Snettisham types by a reduced pellet count in specific fields, a distinction meaningful to specialists working the ABC classification.
