Beschrijving keerzijde A stylised Celtic horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstracted La Tène manner characteristic of Iceni silver coinage. Above the horse, a large rayed solar wheel or sun-symbol with a central pellet is prominently placed in the upper field, accompanied by a smaller ringed pellet to the right. A central annulet appears between the horse's body and the upper devices. Below the horse, a ground line is present, beneath which a further ringed pellet or annulet is visible. The composition is enclosed within an irregular flan with no inscription, the field populated by scattered pellets and abstract Celtic ornamental motifs.

Aanvullende informatie

The Bury Diadem type takes its name from the Bury St. Edmunds hoard found in Suffolk — Iceni heartland — where a significant concentration of these units was recovered, giving numismatists the reference group used to establish the type's classification. The Iceni are best known from later Roman accounts surrounding the Boudican revolt of 60–61 AD, but this coinage predates that crisis by generations, circulating through a period when the tribe was still operating as a largely autonomous client kingdom under Roman influence following the Claudian invasion.
