| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic imitation of a male head, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Alexander III or Philip II, facing right. The hair is rendered in a highly schematized, abstracted manner with bold, irregular pellet-like curls characteristic of the Verwilderten ('wildly degenerate') group. Facial features are broadly modeled with a prominent nose and chin, the overall style reflecting advanced Celtic abstraction from the original Hellenistic prototype. The field is plain and no legend or inscription is present. The die work exhibits the deliberately non-naturalistic, expressive Celtic artistic vocabulary typical of Eastern European imitative coinage of the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. |
