An image coding apparatus is provided with a unit operable to scan a two-dimensional array of quantized coefficients into scanned quantized coefficients, the scanning being performed from a low frequency component toward a high frequency component; a unit operable to convert the scanned quantized coefficients into a run value and a level value, the run value indicating the number of continuous quantized coefficients, each having a zero value, and the level value indicating a value of a quantized coefficient having a non-zero value; a unit operable to code the run value; and a unit operable to code the level value, wherein the coding of the run value is performed, from a high frequency component toward a low frequency component, in accordance with information that represents a total number of uncoded quantized coefficients which have not been coded.
