| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylised disjointed horse motif occupying the central field, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner derived from the Macedonian gold stater prototype. The horse's body is deconstructed into a series of pellets, crescents, and elongated geometric forms arranged across the flan. Two prominent crescent shapes appear centrally, flanked by pellets and dumb-bell ornaments distributed throughout the field. A partial leaf or wing motif appears in the upper right quadrant. The design is entirely anepigraphic, consistent with early Trinovantian coinage of the mid-first century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Waldingfield type takes its name from Great Waldingfield in Suffolk, where a significant concentration of these coins has been recovered — consistent with the Trinovantes' territorial heartland north of the Thames. Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC disrupted tribal political structures considerably, and coinage of this period may reflect both the economic pressure of tribute demands and the accelerated need for élite gift exchange to maintain alliances under Roman threat.
Van Arsdell 1462 is a relatively tightly defined variety within the broader uninscribed gold stater tradition, predating the named dynastic issues that would follow under Addedomaros in the following decades.
