| 裏面の説明 | Stylized Celtic horse advancing to the right, its body rendered with bold, rounded forms characteristic of the Kapostal type. Above the horse's back appears a schematic rider or jockey figure, greatly abstracted, with pellet detailing indicating limbs and torso. A large crescent or lunate motif is visible in the upper field, accompanied by a sinuous serpentine element to the upper left. An annulet with central pellet occupies the left field. Additional pellets and a small globe or ball appear beneath the horse, filling the lower field. The overall composition reflects the highly individualized Celtic artistic vocabulary of the Pannonian region. |

The Hercuniates were a Celtic people settled in the region of Pannonia, roughly corresponding to western Hungary, and their coinage draws directly from the Macedonian drachm tradition filtered through successive generations of Celtic imitation. The Kapostal type — named for the Hungarian find site — belongs to a regional series that progressively abstracted the original Macedonian prototype over decades of local production, with each generation of dies moving further from the source material.
The Göbl reference places this squarely within a well-documented Pannonian sequence, but individual specimens vary considerably in die execution, reflecting decentralized striking by multiple hands rather than a controlled mint authority.
