| Beschrijving keerzijde | A club depicted vertically in the central field, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. The Greek legend MAKEΔONΩN appears above the club, with ΠPΩTHΣ inscribed below, referencing the first meris of Macedonia. A thunderbolt is positioned to the left of the club within the wreath, serving as a secondary symbol. The overall design closely imitates the coinage of the Roman province of Macedonia Prima, executed with varying degrees of fidelity by Celtic engravers. |

The "Makedonon Protes" designation places this type among the earliest Celtic imitations derived from the tetradrachms of Philip II of Macedon, a coinage that flooded the ancient world following the Macedonian conquests and remained a prestige template for Celtic die-cutters for well over a century. Exactly which tribe produced this eastern European variant remains unresolved — the attribution to "uncertain eastern European Celts" reflects genuine scholarly disagreement, not cataloging laziness.
Göbl's placement on Plate 2 suggests a relatively early stylistic position within the sequence of devolution from the Philippic prototype.
