Beschrijving keerzijde	A warrior on horseback galloping left, rendered in a bold, energetic Celtic style. The rider carries a large round shield on his left arm and raises his right arm, possibly brandishing a weapon. The horse is depicted in full gallop with legs extended, conveying dynamic movement. The inscription ANSALI appears in the lower field in uneven Latin characters, likely referencing a tribal name or chieftain associated with the Eravisci. A dotted border surrounds the design.

Aanvullende informatie	The Eravisci were a Celtic tribe settled in Pannonia, in the region of modern Budapest, whose coinage is a rare case of a non-Roman people deliberately imitating Roman Republican denarii with enough precision to pass in trade. Their silver issues copy specific Roman types so closely that misattribution remained common well into the twentieth century. The tribal name itself appears on some issues — an unusual concession to local identity within what is otherwise near-total visual assimilation to Roman monetary convention. By the late first century BC, Roman commercial and military penetration of the middle Danube had made the denarius the region's de facto trade currency.
