| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in a bold Celtic interpretation of the Macedonian prototype. The hair falls in thick, stylized waves behind the neck, and the laurel wreath is rendered with pronounced, leaf-like elements. The beard is depicted with simplified, pellet-accented curls, and the facial features — including a prominent brow and strong jaw — reflect the characteristic abstraction of Eastern Celtic die-cutting. The overall style retains recognizable Hellenistic influence while exhibiting the plastic, schematized quality typical of Celtic coinage derived from Philip II of Macedon tetradrachms. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This type belongs to the broad tradition of Celtic coinage derived from the Philip II Macedonian tetradrachm, but the "Faithful Legend" designation marks it as an unusually conservative imitation — one that retained legible traces of the original Greek inscription long after most Celtic die-cutters had reduced it to abstract decoration. That restraint in abstraction likely places it earlier within the typological sequence, though the two-century attribution window reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty about the tribal origin and precise region of production.
