| Beschrijving voorzijde | Abstract Celtic design composed of four prominent crescent motifs arranged symmetrically across the flan, each crescent rendered with characteristic eyelash-style radiating lines along its inner edge. The crescents are interspersed with pellets, linear hatching, and curvilinear ornamental devices typical of Late Iron Age Icenic coinage. The overall composition fills the field with bold, stylised decoration executed in the insular Celtic artistic tradition, with no legible inscription or figural imagery present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, and their coinage emerged relatively late among British tribes — likely prompted by contact with continental Gaulish traders rather than any direct Roman influence. This series dates to the generation immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, when the Iceni were nominally allied with Rome rather than conquered by it. That arrangement ended catastrophically in 60 or 61 AD with the revolt of Boudica, after Roman officials seized Iceni lands and flogged her daughters following the death of her husband, King Prasutagus.
Hoards containing this type cluster heavily in Norfolk, consistent with production and circulation confined almost entirely within tribal territory.
