| Obverse description | Heavily Celticised head of Zeus facing right, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Philip II tetradrachms, rendered in a bold and schematic barbarian style. The laureate wreath is highly abstracted, reduced to a mass of globular and oval pellets arranged across the crown of the head. Facial features are broadly stylised, with a prominent nose and simplified profile visible at right. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised pellets. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |
