| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic floral motif rendered as a tightly coiled rosette or spiral flower occupying a central annular ring, itself set within a tripartite pelleted framework of curved spokes radiating outward to the coin's edge, characteristic of the abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The three curvilinear lobes formed by the spokes divide the field symmetrically, with pellets or small annulets punctuating the junctions. The overall composition is a highly abstracted derivation of the classical wreathed head found on earlier Macedonian-inspired staters, reduced here to pure geometric ornament. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with pre-Roman British Celtic coinage of the Iceni. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of hand-struck Iron Age issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, operating as a client kingdom under Roman oversight following Caesar's expeditions. Their gold staters circulated in a tribal economy that was neither purely pre-Roman nor fully Romanized — a transitional moment that makes precise attribution difficult. The Crescent type sits at the end of that window, likely struck under a ruler whose name we cannot attach with confidence.
Iceni staters were struck by hammer on cast flans, which accounts for the irregular edges endemic to the type.
