| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylised boar advancing to the right, rendered in characteristically abstracted Celtic artistic style, with prominent tall dorsal bristles depicted along its spine. The boar motif is bordered by a curved line defining the lower field, beneath which a pellet-daisy ornament is positioned. The design exhibits the dynamic linear patterning typical of Late Iron Age Iceni coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Freckenham series takes its name from the Suffolk village where a major hoard of Iceni coins was found in 1885. The Smiler type sits within a broader flourishing of Iceni silver coinage during the late first century BC, a period when the tribe maintained genuine political autonomy from both encroaching Catuvellauni pressure to the south and, eventually, early Roman diplomatic interference following the Claudian invasion preparations.
Die alignment in this series is notably inconsistent — a characteristic of Iceni striking practice generally, not a fault of individual specimens.
