| Reverse description | A stylised horse advances to the right, rendered in the characteristic abstracted manner of Icenic Celtic coinage. Pellets are disposed above the horse's back and behind its hindquarters, while a pellet triad is positioned beneath the animal's body. A horizontal exergual line divides the lower field, below which a zigzag decorative element occupies the exergue. |

| Additional information |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, operating largely outside direct Roman economic influence until Claudius's invasion of 43 AD. Their fractional silver coinage — of which this is among the smallest denominational units — functioned within a tribal exchange system that remains poorly documented. Precise attribution within Iceni issues is still contested; the Talbot references here represent some of the most current scholarship on a series that older catalogs handled crudely.
