Obol Kapostal Type

The Hercuniates were a Celtic tribe settled in the region of Pannonia, roughly corresponding to modern western Hungary and eastern Austria, whose coinage represents some of the more localized and poorly-documented silver issues of the late La Tène period. The Kapostal type obols are among the smallest denominations attributed to this group, and die studies suggest highly localized production — possibly serving a single community or market rather than any broad tribal economy. Kostial's cataloguing remains the primary reference, and attribution of individual specimens to this type over related Pannonian obol types frequently depends on subtle die characteristics rather than typological clarity alone.
