| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized horse prancing left in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner, its body reduced to sinuous curvilinear forms with exaggerated musculature. The horse's head is rendered with a large circular eye and flowing mane indicated by pellet clusters, while the legs are schematized into bold curved lines. A large circular annulet or ring motif appears above the horse in the upper field, a common celticized design element. Additional pellets and abstract forms fill the field around the horse, consistent with Eastern European Celtic coinage of the period. The overall composition reflects advanced stylistic abstraction from the original Macedonian or Thasian drachm prototype. |

The attribution "Uncertain Eastern European Celts" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — these lightweight drachms circulated across a zone stretching from the middle Danube basin into the Carpathian region, produced by tribal groups whose political identities remain unresolved in the archaeological record. They derive ultimately from Macedonian prototypes, Philip II's coinage specifically, filtered through generations of Celtic imitation until the originals became almost unrecognizable. Göbl's Ostkeltischer Typenatlas remains the essential reference, though his typological boundaries have been contested repeatedly since publication.
