| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic head in right profile, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Philip II or Alexander III, rendered in the abstracted La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as deeply incised parallel ridges sweeping dramatically backward from the crown, terminating in a pronounced curved mass. A beaded diadem or wreath border frames the upper periphery of the coin, while a secondary row of pellets traces the rim. The facial features are boldly modeled in high relief, with a prominent nose and strong jaw characteristic of late Celtic die-cutting in the Norican region. |
