| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse rendered in a vigorous, abstracted Celtic style prances or leaps to the left, occupying the central field. The animal's body is compact and stylized, with a large rounded rump, a short arched neck, and a head adorned with a pellet-cluster mane. Scattered pellets and annulets are distributed across the field above, below, and around the horse, serving as decorative fill elements typical of Eastern Celtic coinage derived from Macedonian prototypes. A curved exergual line or ground element may be suggested beneath the horse. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anepigraphic character of this Celtic issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Celtic coinage in this region developed through direct exposure to Macedonian silver, particularly the issues of Philip II and Alexander III, whose coins circulated widely along the Danube corridor and were actively imitated, then progressively abstracted, by Celtic die-cutters working without a tradition of representational portraiture. The janiform type — showing two facing heads back-to-back — has no direct Macedonian prototype and likely reflects indigenous religious or social symbolism grafted onto an adopted monetary format.
Attribution to a specific tribe remains unresolved. The type clusters geographically across the middle Danube basin, but die studies have not yet produced the kind of linkage evidence needed to assign it confidently to a single issuing group.
