| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristically abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The effigy displays a prominent, jutting chin, sharply pointed nose, and a large, boldly rendered ear. Multiple hanks of corded or rope-like hair flow behind the head, executed as a series of parallel striated lines. The design occupies the full flan in a manner typical of Icenic silver unit coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their silver coinage was produced in the decades before and after the Claudian invasion of 43 AD — though this type predates that rupture entirely. The "Ditchingham Star" designation comes from the findspot parish in south Norfolk, a naming convention common to uninscribed Celtic issues where no mint authority can be documented.
At 0.9 g, these units represent significant silver reduction from earlier Iceni struck coinage, likely reflecting metal scarcity or deliberate debasement rather than a change in denomination.
