| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse shown in full gallop to the right, rendered in the stylised abstract manner characteristic of Vindelician Celtic coinage; the body is depicted with exaggerated curvature and bold pellet detailing along the spine and haunches. Above the horse, a triangle with a pellet in each corner echoes the motif found on the obverse. The flan is irregular and the design fills the available surface without any inscription or legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vindelici were a Celtic tribal confederation occupying the region north of the Alps roughly between the Lech and Inn rivers, and their fractional gold coinage is among the most enigmatic in the pre-Roman Celtic world. These minuscule struck pieces derived their typological ancestry from Massaliot and Macedonian prototypes, degraded through generations of copying until the original imagery became nearly abstract. The 1/24 stater denomination suggests a monetary system of genuine sophistication — one capable of expressing value in very small increments, likely for high-value trade transactions rather than everyday exchange.
Roman conquest under Tiberius and Drusus in 15 BC effectively ended independent Vindelician coinage production.
