| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic rendering of a head in high convex relief, presenting as a smooth, dome-shaped boss occupying the central field. The facial features are reduced to schematic Celtic artistic conventions, with the entire surface exhibiting a pronounced buckle or hump form characteristic of the Buckelavers type. The flan is irregular and the design is off-center, typical of Celtic hand-struck coinage. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized Celtic horse depicted in a dramatically abstracted manner, shown inverted or in dynamic disjointed posture within the central field. The horse's body is rendered as a large, smooth, elongated mass, with the limbs reduced to schematic stick-like forms terminating in pellets. Numerous pellets and globular ornaments are scattered throughout the field, accompanied by a triangular symbol below and additional schematic figures to the left and right. The composition reflects the characteristic La Tène decorative idiom, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cotini were a Celtic people occupying the ore-rich highlands of what is now central Slovakia, and their silver coinage was almost certainly funded by direct access to local mining — a rare advantage that distinguished them from neighboring groups dependent on trade or tribute for bullion. The "Buckelavers" type takes its German-derived name from the distinctive boss or knob formations that characterize the dies, a stylistic evolution so pronounced it became a classificatory anchor for the entire regional series.
Göbl's sequencing places this type within a production span suggesting continuous minting across generations rather than episodic issue.
