| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heavily stylised 'Baumreiter' (tree-rider) figure mounted on horseback, moving to the left, in the highly abstracted Celtic artistic idiom derived from the Macedonian horseman prototype. The horse's body is rendered in a schematic, almost disjointed manner typical of Eastern Celtic coinage, with limbs reduced to linear strokes. Four pellets are arranged before the horse, with an additional pellet below, serving as decorative or symbolic field elements. The rider is similarly abstracted, merging with the horse's form in the characteristic late Celtic artistic style. No legend or inscription is present on the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Liegender Achter" — literally "recumbent figure-eight" — type belongs to a cluster of imitative coinages derived from the Macedonian tetradrachms of Philip II, filtered through successive generations of Celtic reinterpretation until the original prototype became barely recognizable. Attribution to a specific tribe remains unresolved; the broad "eastern European" assignment reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty rather than carelessness, as the distribution of finds spans a wide arc from the middle Danube into the Carpathian basin.
Kostial 433 and Castelin 1274 place this among the more abstract derivatives of the Philip II tradition.
