Comment
Symbol Type. BMC 4297-4325; Mack 429Interesting fact
The Icenian J coin was minted during the reign of the Iceni tribe's queen, Boudica, who led a famous rebellion against the Roman Empire in 60 AD. The coin features a unique design that includes a stylized horse and rider on one side, and a Celtic-style cross on the other. Despite its small size, the coin was an important symbol of the Iceni tribe's independence and cultural identity.
