The Kapostal type takes its name from the Hungarian findspot region, and its attribution to "uncertain Eastern European Celts" reflects genuine scholarly disagreement rather than incomplete research — the distribution of these small silvers overlaps territories associated with multiple tribal groupings in the Carpathian Basin during the La Tène period. The two-century date range assigned to the type is an honest acknowledgment that die-linked sequences have not been established firmly enough to narrow the window.
Göbl's Pl. 39 placement groups it within a cluster of fractional issues whose weight reduction from the original Macedonian drachm standard was gradual and inconsistent across dies.
