Interesting fact
The Icenian D coin features a unique design on its reverse side, which depicts a stylized horse and rider. This design is believed to represent the Celtic goddess Epona, who was revered across much of Celtic Europe as a protector of horses and fertility. The inclusion of this design on the coin highlights the cultural and religious practices of the Iceni tribe, and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Celtic mythology in British history.
