| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstract rendering of a wreath or head derived from the Macedonian gold stater prototype, executed in the distinctive Late Iron Age Celtic artistic idiom. The design is composed of a bold diagonal band traversing the flan, flanked by deeply relief-struck curvilinear and pellet ornaments filling the field. Flowing volutes, trumpet spirals, and comma-shaped elements characteristic of Icenian die-cutting cover the entire surface, giving the design a rich, dynamic texture. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the uninscribed issues of the Icenian 'A' series. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, typical of hammered Iron Age gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and their coinage developed largely in isolation from the Gallo-Belgic traditions that shaped much of southern British Iron Age currency. The Norfolk Wolf series represents one of their earliest locally distinct issues, probably predating Caesar's invasions but continuing through the political turbulence that followed — a period when tribal identity and the control of gold coinage carried real strategic weight.
ABC 1399 is among the more precisely attributed of the Wolf variants, with the leftward orientation distinguishing it from related dies in the series.
