Beschrijving keerzijde Stylised Celtic horseman advancing to left, the rider wearing a crested helmet in the Dachreiter tradition, rendered in a highly abstracted La Tène artistic manner. The horse's body is schematically depicted with exaggerated limb strokes characteristic of Eastern Celtic coinage. A six-spoked wheel symbol appears behind the horse in the field, serving as a cultic or tribal emblem. A pellet-in-annulet device is placed below the horse's body in the lower field. The overall composition reflects the progressive Celticisation of the Philip II Macedonian tetradrachm prototype.

Aanvullende informatie

The "Dachreiter" — German for "roof rider" — designation comes from the distinctive schematic figure that evolved through successive generations of Celtic die-cutters working far from the Macedonian prototypes they were copying. This particular type sits within a broad family of imitations derived ultimately from Philip II tetradrachms, but by this stage the transmission had passed through so many hands across the Carpathian basin that the original iconographic source is barely traceable. Attribution to a specific tribe remains impossible; "Uncertain Eastern European Celts" is the honest answer to a question the archaeological record cannot yet resolve.
