| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly schematised mounted rider advancing to the left, the horse and rider rendered in abstracted Celtic style with limbs suggested by angular relief lines. A cluster of pellets appears above the rider's head and two pellets are visible below the horse, serving as decorative or symbolic field ornaments. The overall composition is typical of the Kapostal series attributed to the Hercuniates tribe. The flan is irregular with a chipped upper edge, and no legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hercuniates were a Celtic tribe 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 silver — derivative issues that adapted Greek prototypes through successive generations of stylistic abstraction until the original models became nearly unrecognizable. The Kapostal type specifically takes its name from the Hungarian find site, where a significant hoard concentration helped establish the attribution.
At 0.84g, these fractional pieces circulated as small-denomination exchange within a tribal economy that was already feeling Roman pressure along the Danube frontier well before formal annexation of Pannonia around 9 AD.
