week 5 - Iceni Coins found in Norfolk

I loved drawing these tiny silver coins - they're smaller than the old sixpence (about as big as a fingernail for those of you too young to remember those!). Many had a depiction of a horse on one side , and the face seems to be wearing a warriors helmet. They were found near Fring in a pottery cup, probably buried during the years of Boudica's uprising against the Romans!
