Additional information

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, operating with enough political autonomy under early Roman provincial arrangements to continue striking their own coinage well into the first decade AD. This small fractional piece belongs to the final generation of independent Iceni silver — production that would cease entirely within decades, as Roman monetary integration made tribal issues redundant. Boudicca's revolt in 60/61 AD effectively ended whatever remained of that numismatic tradition.

The Saham Toney reference ties this type geographically to one of the tribe's known regional centers in Norfolk.
