Beschrijving keerzijde	A horned quadruped, likely a bull or stag, depicted standing to the left in a schematic Celtic style. A crescent or curved symbol appears above the animal's back, flanked by pellets distributed across the upper field. Additional pellets are arranged vertically along the body of the animal, and a curved motif, possibly a bow, is present in the lower field beneath the creature. The composition is characteristic of the Roseldorf III type coinage associated with the Kingdom of Noricum.

Aanvullende informatie	The Roseldorf site in Lower Austria has yielded more Celtic coin types than almost any comparable excavation in central Europe, suggesting it functioned as a major cult and trading center rather than a conventional settlement mint. This quarter-quinarius denomination — fractional even by the standards of Celtic silver coinage — points to sophisticated local exchange requiring small-unit currency, not merely prestige or ritual use. The Kostial typology for Norican issues remains the foundational reference, though attribution boundaries between neighboring Celtic polities are still debated among specialists.
