Reverse description Stylised seated figure of Zeus Aëtophoros facing left, rendered in a bold and abstracted Celtic interpretation of the Macedonian drachm reverse type. The enthroned deity holds an eagle (aetos) in the extended right hand and a long sceptre in the left, both elements heavily schematised into angular and linear forms. The throne is reduced to a simple rectangular frame below the figure. A symbol to the left of the figure, possibly a kantharos or other cult vessel, serves as an additional control mark. No legend is present, consistent with this class of anepigraphic Celtic imitative coinage.
