Gold Stater Snettisham Multi Pellets Type

Beschrijving voorzijde	Blank or nearly plain convex field derived from the wreath of the Gallo-Belgic prototype, retaining only a highly abstracted residual design. The surface is dominated by a broad, smooth, dished flan with a distinctive arrangement of multiple pellets forming a loose diagonal or cross-shaped grouping across the central field. No inscriptions or recognizable figural elements are present; the design has been reduced to its most abstract Celtic form, characteristic of the Snettisham Multi Pellets series.

Aanvullende informatie	The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their coinage developed largely independent of Gaulish influence — a regional tradition that makes typing their staters genuinely difficult. The "Multi Pellets" designation within ABC 1405 refers to a specific reverse die characteristic used to differentiate sub-types within the broader Snettisham series, itself named after the Norfolk hoard site where a concentration of related material was recovered in the mid-twentieth century. Iceni gold was struck in the years before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD rendered tribal coinage politically obsolete almost overnight.
