| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized horse galloping left, rendered in a highly abstracted Celtic manner with the body reduced to bold, rounded forms. The horse's neck curves dramatically upward, and pellet ornaments are visible above the back, a characteristic decorative element of Scordisci coinage. A circular symbol or wheel motif appears in the upper right field. The limbs are schematically indicated, and the overall composition demonstrates the characteristic Celtic reinterpretation of the Greek-Macedonian equestrian reverse type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Scordisci were a Celtic people who settled the confluence of the Sava, Drava, and Danube rivers following the failed Galatian invasion of Greece in 279 BC. Their coinage, including this drachm, derives from Macedonian prototypes — particularly issues of Philip II — progressively abstracted through successive generations of local die-cutting until the original imagery dissolves into near-geometric schematism. This stylistic drift is not degradation; it reflects deliberate local aesthetic choices operating outside any Greek institutional framework.
The Kostial and Göbl references place this piece within a well-documented but narrowly studied series.
