| Aversbeschreibung | Highly stylised and fragmented effigy of Apollo facing right, rendered in the characteristically abstracted Late Iron Age Brittonic manner derived from Macedonian prototypes. The facial features are dissolved into a series of raised pellets, crescents, and sinuous relief lines distributed across the field, with no legible legend or inscription. The design retains vestigial elements of the laureate head — including curvilinear hair strands and a prominent curved outline suggesting the profile — but these are thoroughly deconstructed into abstract geometric forms. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a green-gold electrum surface patina consistent with the mixed alloy composition. |

The "Yarmouth C" designation reflects how little is actually known about this issue — classification by findspot rather than tribe is the honest admission that attribution remains unresolved. Coins of this type cluster in Norfolk and Suffolk finds, placing them broadly within the territory contested between the Iceni and their neighbors, but no firm tribal assignment has survived scholarly scrutiny.
The electrum composition here is notably debased compared to earlier Gallo-Belgic imports that inspired the broader series, a degradation that accelerated across British issues through the first century BC as indigenous mints substituted silver and copper for gold.
