Aversbeschreibung Stylised Celtic boar depicted in profile facing right, rendered in characteristic Late Iron Age abstract manner with prominent pellet ornaments distributed across the field. The animal's body is conveyed through bold raised lines and globular pellets suggesting musculature, with a distinctively elongated tail arching upward — the defining typological feature of this series. Additional pellets and linear devices occupy the surrounding field, consistent with Icenian artistic conventions. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is irregular and slightly broader on one side, typical of hammered Celtic small silver coinage.

Reversbeschreibung Stylised Celtic horse or zoomorphic figure depicted in profile, executed in the characteristic abstract idiom of Icenian coinage, with the body formed by bold raised lines and prominent globular pellets arranged in clusters around the principal motif. A triangular or angular geometric element is visible beneath the figure, possibly representing a chariot wheel or decorative groundline device. Multiple pellet groupings are distributed across the field in a deliberate, asymmetric arrangement typical of Icenian half-unit reverses. The flan surface shows the irregular planchet preparation consistent with hand-struck Celtic silver coinage. No legend or inscription is present.

Zusätzliche Informationen

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, and their silver fractional coinage circulated in a region that remained outside direct Roman administrative control until the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. These small silver pieces functioned within a gift-exchange and prestige economy as much as any mercantile one — hoards from the region suggest deliberate burial rather than casual loss.

COI#51 is documented in Celtic Coin Index records tied to East Anglian findspots.
