Obverse description Stylized male head facing right in Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with schematic simplicity characteristic of Noric coinage. The head is adorned with a helmet or hair mass indicated by a broad curved band across the crown, decorated along its upper edge with a row of short incuse strokes or pellets. Three prominent pellets are arranged vertically before the face, serving as a decorative or symbolic element typical of the Eis type series. The facial features are boldly modelled with a pronounced nose and minimal detail, reflecting the abstract Celtic interpretation of the Hellenistic prototype. No legend or inscription appears in the field.
