| Descripción del reverso | Abstracted Celtic design featuring a disjointed, highly stylised pattern of curved and angular elements arranged in a broadly cruciform or wheel-like composition across the field, consistent with a degraded chariot or pattern derived from earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes associated with the Iceni coinage tradition. The design, typical of the Norfolk God Moustache series, shows flowing lenticular and blade-shaped raised forms radiating from a central point, with the execution somewhat coarser than official issues, consistent with its identification as a contemporary counterfeit. The silver plating is partially intact, with significant corrosion and bronze core exposure visible across much of the surface. No inscription or legend is present. The flan edges are irregular and uneven, as expected from hand-hammered production. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Iceni silver units were struck by forgers operating within the tribe's own territory, almost certainly during the first century AD when Roman economic pressure was destabilizing native coinage systems. These pieces weren't crude provincial imitations — they circulated alongside official issues and were accepted as currency, which is precisely why the forgery was worth the effort. The silver plating over a bronze core required real technical skill.
The association with Boudica's revolt of 60–61 AD is circumstantial but plausible; monetary disruption in the years leading to the uprising would have created conditions in which debased coinages proliferated.
