| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic head rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition, facing right. The facial features are dissolved into a series of curvilinear elements and pellets, with a prominent rounded eye rendered as a raised pellet within a concave socket. The hair or headdress is suggested by flowing, flame-like relief strands radiating from the crown, and additional pellets punctuate the field around the visage. The overall treatment reflects the characteristic Celtic abstraction of the Macedonian prototype, typical of Vindelician coinage from the Manching cultural sphere. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vindelici occupied the territory between the Danube and the Alps — roughly modern Bavaria — and their coinage developed largely in isolation from Mediterranean monetary systems, filtered instead through contact with La Tène Celtic traditions moving west to east. The Manching oppidum, one of the largest Iron Age settlements north of the Alps, served as the probable production center for this series, with excavations there recovering both finished coins and evidence of metalworking activity consistent with small-denomination silver striking.
The century-long date range assigned to this type reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty rather than carelessness — Celtic Iron Age coinage resists precise attribution without supporting archaeological stratigraphy.
