| Reverse description | Juno Sospita standing to right, clad in goat-skin headdress, holding a shield in her left hand and a spear in her right, with a serpent rearing to the right before her. The legend IΓΛIICILI F appears to the left of the figure, rendered in a barbarised Latin script reflecting Celtic die-cutting conventions. The composition closely follows Roman Republican denarius prototypes of the Gens Cornelia or related issues, as adapted by Celtic engravers of the Hungarian region. |

| Additional information |
The "Hungarian Group" designation covers a loose cluster of late La Tène silver issues attributed to Celtic tribes operating in the Carpathian Basin during the final century before Roman consolidation of Pannonia. Precise tribal attribution remains unresolved — the grouping is essentially a cataloger's convenience for types that share fabric and style but resist tighter classification.
Kostial 1022 places this among issues contemporary with Rome's push eastward under Augustus, a period when Celtic coinage in the region was being progressively displaced rather than gradually abandoned.
