| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylized Celtic horseman galloping to the right, depicted in the disjointed, abstracted manner typical of Pannonian Celtic coinage of the Kapostal type. The rider sits atop a horse whose body is rendered schematically, with limbs indicated by thin curved lines; a large globular pellet forms the rider's head. Above the horse, a prominent lunate symbol (crescent) flanked by pellets occupies the upper field, while a circular annulet with a central pellet appears to the left. Additional decorative elements including curved lines and pellets fill the field. No inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hercuniates were a Celtic tribe settled in the region of Pannonia, roughly corresponding to modern western Hungary and eastern Austria, where their coinage circulated alongside issues of neighboring tribes during the final centuries before Roman pacification of the region. The Kapostal type takes its name from the Hungarian site where a significant hoard concentration was documented, which has been the primary basis for attribution and die-study work catalogued by Kostial and Göbl.
Celtic imitative silver of this class derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes, but local die-cutters had long since departed from the source type by the time these were struck.
