| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized horse prancing to the left rendered in a distinctly Celtic abstract manner, with a schematically rendered body and exaggerated musculature. The legs terminate in elaborate pellet-and-curl ornaments rather than naturalistic hooves, a hallmark of East Noric Celtic die-cutting convention. A curved line of pellets extends from the neck toward the upper field, and a single large pellet with a hook-like appendage appears before the horse's muzzle. Above the horse, wavy linear elements fill the upper field, while the lower field is open with no exergual line. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Frontal Face" tetradrachms of East Noricum belong to a regional Celtic coinage tradition that developed independently of Mediterranean monetary systems, with local chieftains issuing silver on the Greek tetradrachm weight standard after exposure to Macedonian coinage — likely through mercenary service or trans-Alpine trade. Noricum's silver came from its own ore-rich eastern Alps, the same deposits that would later make the region strategically valuable to Rome.
Kostial 192 falls within a typological cluster that numismatists have struggled to attribute to specific issuing centers, as no mint town has been conclusively identified for East Norican production.
