1 Drachm

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.
