Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised Celtic abstract design derived from a degraded laureate head. The central motif comprises two opposed crescents enclosing a linear wreath element terminating in a pellet-in-annulet. Flanking pellet-in-annulet symbols occupy the field on either side of the crescents. Curved wreath extensions radiate at right angles from the flanking annulets, filling the remaining field with characteristic Icenian banded ornamental patterning.

Aanvullende informatie

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, and their gold coinage was already in decline by the time this stater was struck — debased progressively through the late Iron Age as Roman economic pressure reshaped the tribal exchange system. This type falls in the generation immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, when Iceni autonomy still held but was increasingly contingent on Roman tolerance.

Van Arsdell 610-1 is among the later Iceni uninscribed issues, predating the named coinage of rulers like Antedios and Saenu. The Snettisham and related hoards have produced examples, suggesting deliberate burial during a period of regional instability.
