Tetradrachm Audoleon Type

The Audoleon type takes its name from a Paeonian king active around 300 BC, whose Philip II-derived coinage circulated widely enough across the central Balkans to inspire Celtic imitations for generations. Who exactly struck these pieces remains unresolved — attribution to specific tribal groups in the eastern Celtic periphery is contested, and the "uncertain" label in most references reflects genuine scholarly disagreement rather than incomplete research.

Göbl's classification system placed these within a stylistic sequence showing progressive abstraction from the Macedonian prototype, each generation of dies moving further from the source.
