| Beschrijving keerzijde | Abstract Celtic design filling the irregular flan, depicting a highly stylised zoomorphic or geometric motif in low relief. Curvilinear forms and pellets are arranged across the field in a manner consistent with debased Celtic artistic conventions derived from earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes. No inscriptions or legends are present. The execution is bold but schematic, with the design elements distributed asymmetrically across the hammered silver surface. This face conforms to the standard reverse type associated with the Icenic Pickenham Flower series as catalogued under VA 650-1. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their silver fractional coinage — struck in the decades before Boudica's revolt of 60-61 AD — circulated within a tribal economy that was already deeply entangled with Roman commercial networks crossing the North Sea. The Pickenham series is named for the Norfolk find-spot where concentrations of this type first brought it to scholarly attention.
At 0.17 g, these fractions were among the smallest silver coins in circulation anywhere in the ancient world at the time of issue.
