Ian Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 an example of a silver unit of the Iceni tribe which inhabited the East Anglia region of England. This coin was struck circa 20 -50 ad during the time of Prasutagus,the wealthy and pro-Roman king of the Iceni. His wife, Boudicca was later to rise against the Romans. The obverse has conjoined crescents central to the coin. The reverse has a galloping horse to the left and underneath is ECEN (retrograde in this example). The Iceni were the only Celtic tribe to put their tribal name to their coinage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
