| Beschrijving voorzijde | Essentially plain field bearing faint, ghostly traces of crossed wreath derived from the original Macedonian gold stater prototype, rendered in a highly abstracted Celtic style. The wreath elements are barely discernible, reduced to incuse linear impressions across the broadly convex flan. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the uninscribed coinage of the Iceni. The surface exhibits the characteristic irregular flan shape and variable thickness typical of British Iron Age hammered gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Snettisham Spiral type takes its name from the Norfolk hoard site where related Celtic metalwork — including the famous Snettisham torc — was recovered, pointing to a concentrated zone of Iceni aristocratic wealth in the decades immediately preceding the Roman conquest. These staters circulated in a tribal economy where coinage functioned as much for gift exchange and political obligation as for trade, which partly explains why so many examples surface in deliberate hoards rather than casual loss contexts.
By the reign of Cunobelin and the intensifying Roman presence in southern Britain, the Iceni remained politically distinct in Norfolk and Suffolk — their coinage tradition persisting until Boudica's revolt of 60–61 AD effectively ended it.
