| Aversbeschreibung | Celticized male head facing right, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Philip II or Alexander III, rendered in the distinctive abstracted La Tène artistic style. The hair is depicted as a mass of deeply struck, swirling S-shaped and comma-like volutes radiating from the crown, filling the upper field with bold, plastic relief. Facial features are highly stylized, with a prominent rounded eye rendered as a raised pellet, a schematic nose, and a sweeping beard dissolved into flowing linear strands. The treatment of the portrait reflects the advanced stage of Celtic artistic reinterpretation, characteristic of the Verwilderten degeneration group. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A horse advancing left in a highly schematized Celtic rendering, with a compact, globular body and short, strongly curved legs in mid-stride. Above the horse, a stylized rider or abstract human figure — characteristic of the Baumreiter (tree-rider) type — is represented in a disjointed, fragmented manner with limbs scattered across the field as isolated pellets and curved strokes. Surrounding elements include abstract symbols and pellets dispersed in the field, derived from the original charioteer and victory motifs of the Macedonian prototype but thoroughly transformed through Celtic abstraction. The flan is irregular and the design is boldly struck in high relief. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The "Verwilderten" designation — meaning "degenerated" or "gone wild" in German — reflects the progressive abstraction that occurred as Celtic die-cutters copied and recopied Greek prototypes without reference to the originals, each generation of dies drifting further from the Macedonian tetradrachms of Philip II that seeded the entire tradition. The Baumreiter type takes its name from the tree motif that replaced the horse-and-rider composition as the design dissolved through successive copying cycles.
Attribution to a specific tribe or mint remains unresolved. The eastern Celtic coin-producing zone encompassed groups across the Carpathian basin and into the middle Danube region, and without hoard provenance, pinning this type to a single issuer is not possible with current evidence.
