Obol Kapostal Type

The Hercuniates were a Celtic tribe settled in the region of Pannonia, roughly corresponding to modern western Hungary and eastern Austria, their coinage reflecting deep Macedonian influence filtered through generations of transmission across the Danube basin. This obol type, referenced against Kostial and Göbl's typological plates, belongs to a series of fractional silver issues that saw prolonged use across the final two centuries BC as Roman pressure steadily compressed Celtic political authority in the region.

The broad two-century dating window assigned to this type reflects genuine uncertainty about when production ceased rather than scholarly imprecision.
