| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised mounted rider wearing a crested helmet advances to the left on horseback, the horse and rider rendered in a schematic Celtic idiom with exaggerated, abstracted limbs. A crescent symbol appears before the rider in the field, serving as a common apotropaic or decorative device on Celtic coinage of this region. Beneath the horse, a horizontal figure-of-eight motif occupies the lower field, a distinctive diagnostic feature of the Kapostal type. The overall composition is enclosed within a plain or lightly beaded border, with the flan exhibiting the irregular edges typical of hand-struck Celtic silver issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hercuniates occupied the region of present-day western Hungary near the Dráva river, and their coinage — including this Kapostal type — belongs to a broader tradition of Celtic imitation coinage derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes. The Kapostal series represents a late stage of that tradition, where successive generations of die-cutting had carried the original imagery far from its source into increasingly abstracted forms.
Göbl's classification of this piece within Pl.39 places it among a relatively tight cluster of dies, suggesting concentrated production rather than a long-running series.
