| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised Celtic horseman advancing to left, the horse rendered with a compact, rounded body and legs reduced to schematic curved lines. The rider, depicted in abstract form, wears a helmet surmounted by a long flowing crest trailing behind. The field is populated with scattered pellets, annulets, and lunate symbols beneath the horse, characteristic decorative elements of the Kapostal type. The composition reflects the progressive Celticisation of the Greek Macedonian prototype, retaining compositional structure while dissolving figurative detail into abstraction. |

The Hercuniates were a Celtic people settled in the region of Pannonia, roughly corresponding to modern western Hungary and eastern Austria. Their coinage belongs to a broader tradition of Danubian Celtic imitative issues derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes, though by the time types like this one were struck, the formal connection to the Greek originals had dissolved almost entirely into abstract local idiom. The Kapostal type takes its name from the Hungarian findspot distribution concentrated around that area.
Göbl's classification system for Celtic coinage of this region remains the primary scholarly framework, and Kostial 822 / Göbl 503/3 places this piece within a well-documented but numerically modest group.
