| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised boar depicted in right profile, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The animal displays a characteristically chunky, compact form with doubled upper foreleg lines, a defining artistic convention of this type. Stiff dorsal bristles are depicted along the spine, joined by a connecting line across their upper terminals. A pellet rosette appears in the lower field beneath the boar. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse advancing to right, rendered in the schematic Celtic idiom with a prominent, large open head and doubled upper foreleg lines consistent with the obverse treatment. Above the horse, a wheel motif flanked by two opposed plain triangles occupies the upper field, a common symbolic device in Icenian coinage. A pellet rosette is positioned in the lower field beneath the horse, mirroring the obverse layout. |

The Freckenham Daisy group is among the better-documented late Iceni silver issues, attributed to the tribal territory centered on what is now northwest Suffolk and southwest Norfolk. These small units were struck in the decades immediately preceding and following the Roman conquest of southern Britain in 43 AD, when Iceni client-kingdom arrangements under rulers like Antedios created a peculiar political window — enough Roman pressure to accelerate coin production, but enough autonomy to maintain distinctly local typology.
The ABC 1570 reference places this specifically within the Boar subtype of the Daisy series, a distinction with genuine die-variety significance rather than mere collector taxonomy.
