1/4 Quinarius Roseldorf III type

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.
