Britannia, Iceni AR Unit. 20 BC - AD 10. Stylised head right, trefoil in front, [wreath behind] / Horse right, triangular shape within pelleted arc above, lozenge-shaped box below. ABC 1564; BMC 3556ff; VA 790; S 434. 1.05g, 13mm.
Van Arsdell's assignment of this coinage to the period of Boudicca's revolt has been disputed and has not been retained in Hobbs' catalogue of the Celtic holdings in the British Museum. Whilst 'Norfolk God' type silver units, such as this one, may be among the last coins produced by the Iceni, Amanda Chadnurn dates the type circa. 20 BC - AD 10.
Near Very Fine, lightly toned.
