From the KJG Collection of British Celtic Coins. Ex Rudd 73 (January 2004) 31.
A contemporary of Cunobelinus, Antedios was one of the first Icenian kings to stamp his name on coins. Otherwise his coinage is conservative, never depicting a head but instead employing the double crescent and grain ear motif of the Catuvellauni. The type was to persist on Icenian coinage for another half century or longer, and indeed along with the ubiquitous horse of the reverse, became the main tribal emblem of the Iceni.
