Ancient, Celtic, British and World Coins, Tokens and Historical Medals

CELTIC COINS Iceni, Unit, ecen type, two opposed crescents, reverse horse to right, ecen below, 1.0 gms (cf, CCB 730.1; S 443A). Slight weakness to reverse margin (c. 9 o’clock), otherwise very fine (£30-40)

Van Arsdell points out that the inscription ECEN is the name of the tribe rather than a ruler; the legend combined with one front leg of the horse forms ECENI.
