| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two horses rendered in the distinctive stylised Celtic manner: a primary horse stepping to the right occupies the central field, with a second horse depicted above in a smaller scale. A pellet-in-annulet device appears below the primary horse, serving as a typical Icenian fill ornament. Additional decorative pellets and linear elements are scattered in the field, consistent with the Norfolk Diadem series. The composition is characteristically abstract, with limbs and body forms reduced to bold, curvilinear motifs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied territory across modern Norfolk and Suffolk, and their coinage production intensified markedly in the decades following Caesar's two British expeditions of 55–54 BC — not as a direct response to Rome, but as part of a broader monetization occurring across southeastern Britain's tribal networks. The Norfolk Diadem series sits within the earlier phase of Iceni silver output, before the tribe's coinage became more standardized under client-king arrangements with Rome.
The "cf." qualifiers across all four references signal genuine typological uncertainty — this piece shares characteristics with the established series without cleanly matching any single recorded die.
