| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized male head facing right, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Philip II or Alexander III, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, deeply incised diagonal ridges and pellet-bordered bands sweeping back from the forehead, creating a highly decorative, almost geometric effect. The facial features are schematically modeled with a prominent curved nose, rounded cheek, and subtly indicated eye and ear. A beaded torque or necklace motif appears below the chin. The entire composition fills the flan in the bold, plastic style typical of the Burgenland Celtic coinage tradition. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A rider on horseback prancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic idiom derived from the reverse of Macedonian tetradrachms. The horse is depicted in a lively prancing pose with boldly modeled haunches and raised forelegs; a row of pellets forms a ground line beneath the horse. The rider holds an indistinct object and is rendered schematically. Above the horse's back appears a prominent crescent or lunula symbol flanked by pellets, a characteristic symbol of the Burgenland Celtic coinage type. A dotted border runs along the upper periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Burgenland Celts occupied the region of modern Austria's easternmost province, a corridor between the Pannonian plain and the eastern Alps that placed them squarely in the path of successive waves of migration and conflict during the second century BC. Their silver coinage derives ultimately from Macedonian prototypes — specifically the tetradrachms of Philip II — filtered through generations of stylistic abstraction as the designs passed westward and northward through Celtic transmission networks over roughly a century before these pieces were struck.
Kostial 739 represents a tightly defined die grouping within Göbl's broader classification, making die-matching between specimens a realistic prospect for serious collectors.
