| Aversbeschreibung | Stylised male head facing right in the late Celtic tradition, rendered with bold abstraction. The hair is depicted in a distinctive herringbone pattern, while a prominent, large oval eye dominates the facial field, giving this type its characteristic 'Odin's Eye' designation. The mouth is represented by a coffee-bean pellet form, and a second eye motif appears positioned in front of the mouth in the field. No ear is depicted, consistent with the abstract Celtic artistic convention employed throughout this series. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised horse prancing to the right, executed in the abstract Celtic idiom characteristic of Icenian silver coinage. The forequarters feature a doubled upper left foreleg, and the head is rendered large and open with a flame or tongue motif issuing from the mouth. The mane is depicted either plain or beaded depending on die variety. A pellet-in-ring device appears beneath the horse, flanked above by a pellet triad on either side of a further pellet-in-ring, creating a structured arrangement of ornamental symbols in the field. |

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and northwestern Suffolk, operating as a nominally autonomous client kingdom under early Roman influence following Caesar's expeditions. Their silver coinage emerged relatively late compared to southern British tribes, and the ring-type variants like this issue likely reflect internal dynastic or factional distinctions rather than straightforward sequential development — the precise attribution of these sub-types to specific rulers remains contested, with no firm die-linked evidence connecting them to named Iceni kings before Antedios or Prasutagus.
