| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized Victory driving a biga to the left, holding reins and whip in a manner closely imitating Roman Republican denarius prototypes. The two horses are rendered in a lively, elongated Celtic style with dotted manes and exaggerated limbs in full gallop. The chariot wheel is visible beneath the figures, depicted as a simple spoked circle. A beaded border runs along the coin's periphery, and a zigzag or wave pattern appears above the scene in the upper field. No inscriptions are present; the overall composition reflects the characteristic barbarian adaptation of Roman imagery by the Eravisci tribe of Pannonia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Eravisci were a Celtic tribe settled in Pannonia, in the region of modern-day Hungary around the Danube bend near present-day Budapest. Their coinage is unusual: rather than developing an independent monetary tradition, they copied Roman Republican denarii with enough fidelity to suggest deliberate imitation for trade parity. This piece, struck at roughly double the weight of a standard denarius, points to a local weight standard running parallel to Roman norms rather than simply subordinate to them.
Eraviscan coins are frequently found in hoards alongside genuine Roman issues, which complicated identification for early collectors.
