| Aversbeschreibung | Two outline crescents arranged back-to-back in the field, flanked by a pair of parallel lines forming a vertical wreath-like frame. Two pellets occupy the space between the crescents. Rows of pellets and short dashes extend perpendicularly outward from the bounding lines, creating a structured decorative field typical of late Iceni coinage. The design is rendered in a purely abstract, non-figurative Celtic style characteristic of the pre-Roman Iron Age British tradition. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised horse prances to the right, rendered in the distinctive abstract Celtic manner of the Iceni series. The foreleg area is doubled, with two upper front legs depicted, and the head is represented by a solid Y-shaped linear motif. Single dash strokes indicate the mane, and a cluster of six pellets adorns the shoulder. A pelletal sun symbol occupies the upper field above the horse. The tribal inscription AESV appears in the lower field below the horse. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Aesu coinage belongs to the final generation of Iceni tribal issues before the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD effectively ended independent Celtic minting in the region. Whether "Aesu" names a ruler, a deity, or a magistrate remains unresolved — the scholarly consensus has shifted more than once, and no inscribed parallel confirms the reading beyond the coins themselves.
The Iceni would resurface violently under Boudica roughly seventeen years after Roman annexation, but by then their coinage tradition had already been extinguished for nearly two decades.
