| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse prancing to the left, depicted in the abstracted La Tène artistic tradition with exaggerated, globular body forms and schematically rendered limbs. The animal's head is raised with a curved neck, and its forelegs are lifted in a prancing posture. Below the horse, a cluster of pellets or globular elements is visible, a common decorative or symbolic motif in Noric Celtic coinage. The field is plain with no legend, and the design fills the flan in a compact, stylized composition typical of the Karlsteiner art type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Noricum occupied the alpine territory roughly corresponding to modern Austria, and its silver coinage was struck by a Celtic tribal confederation that maintained sophisticated metallurgical traditions well before Roman annexation in 15 BC. The Karlsteiner type takes its name from Karlstein an der Thaya, the region where a significant concentration of finds has been recorded. These tiny fractional pieces circulated alongside larger Tetradrachms in a regional economy that supplied iron — among the finest in the ancient world — to both Roman and Celtic markets.
