| Additional information |
The Norfolk Wolf types occupy a contested corner of pre-Roman British numismatics — the issuing tribe remains unidentified, and attribution has shifted between the Iceni and several smaller East Anglian groups without resolution. What is agreed is that these staters circulated in a region that would, within a generation, become one of the most politically volatile in Roman Britain. The Boudican revolt of 60–61 AD was still decades away, but the tribal tensions that produced it were already present in the monetary geography of this period.
Struck from high-purity gold at a weight standard derived ultimately from the Macedonian stater, probably via Gaulish intermediaries.
