| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse and rider advancing to left, the rider wearing a crested helmet in a highly abstracted Celtic rendering. A crescent symbol appears before the horse, while a horizontal figure-of-eight motif is placed below the horse, serving as a distinctive type marker for this issue. The composition is characterised by the bold, schematic simplification typical of Pannonian Celtic coinage derived from Macedonian tetradrachm prototypes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hercuniates occupied the territory around the Dráva river basin in what is now southern Hungary and northern Croatia — a region the Romans would later organize as part of Pannonia. The Kapostal type takes its name from the Hungarian find site where a significant hoard concentration established the type's geographic anchor. Celtic silver coinage in this zone was struck not as royal propaganda but as a functional medium for inter-tribal exchange and mercenary payment, almost certainly connected to the broader Balkanic Celtic military presence of the late Iron Age.
Göbl's die study places this type within a relatively compressed production window despite the catalog's wide date range.
