Additional information

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their coinage — including this triadic type — was produced and circulating in the decades leading up to Boudica's revolt of 60/61 AD. The triadic classification refers to the arrangement of pellets in groups of three, a regional convention that helps distinguish Icenian issues from the broader British Iron Age coinage tradition. These small silver units were struck by hammer between unworked dies with no collar, which accounts for the irregular flans characteristic of the type.
