| Obverse description | Bare male head facing left, rendered in the characteristically stylized Celtic manner derived from Hellenistic prototypes. The hair is elaborately depicted in large, sweeping locks arranged in bold volutes and comma-shaped curls radiating from the crown, with deeply incised parallel striations defining individual strands. The facial features are naturalistically modeled with a strong jaw, prominent nose, and well-defined eye. The field surrounding the effigy is plain, and the flan edge is irregular, consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the mid-1st century BC. |
