| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of Apollo, rendered in a highly stylised Celtic interpretation of the Greek prototype, with large almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and slightly parted lips. The hair is arranged in thick, schematically rendered locks falling to either side of the face, surmounted by a laurel wreath with prominent berries depicted in a decorative, almost abstract manner. The portrait fills the broad, thick flan characteristic of the Dickschrötling type, with a beaded border partially visible at the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eastern Celtic silver coinage of this period derives ultimately from the Macedonian tetradrachms of Philip II, absorbed and progressively abstracted by Celtic die-cutters over successive generations until the original prototype became barely legible. The "Apollokopf-Dickschrötling" designation — literally "thick flan" — reflects a consistent striking convention among certain eastern groups who maintained higher module flans even as broader Celtic minting diverged toward thinner, broader planchets.
Attribution to a specific tribe or region remains unresolved. Göbl's classification placed related types across a broad arc from the middle Danube basin eastward, and die studies have not yet narrowed the issuing authority with confidence.
