Gold Stater Snettisham Multi Pellets Type

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.
