| Beschrijving voorzijde | Celticized male head facing left, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Alexander the Great, rendered in characteristically abstracted La Tène style. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, deeply incised parallel ridges sweeping back from the forehead, with additional wavy locks extending to the right and filling the field. A beaded torque or collar is visible at the neck, and a stylized ear is rendered with punched dot decoration. The overall treatment is highly schematic, with the facial features reduced to elongated, deeply cut forms typical of Eastern Celtic die-cutting. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prancing horse facing right in vigorous Celtic abstract style, with an exaggeratedly arched neck rendered as a bold sweeping curve and a flowing mane dissolved into curvilinear appendages and ring-and-dot motifs. The body is compact and schematic, with the legs reduced to simplified angular forms with pellet terminals. Decorative filling elements, including lyre-shaped and scroll motifs, occupy the field around the horse, characteristic of the East Noric Samobor B type coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Samobor group of Celtic tetradrachms takes its name from the Croatian town near which a significant hoard find helped define the type, giving numismatists a geographic anchor for what was otherwise a poorly understood regional coinage. East Noricum, occupying roughly the eastern Alpine territory of modern Austria and Slovenia, struck these coins under tribal authority during a period of increasing Roman encroachment — the province of Noricum was absorbed into the Roman sphere without military conquest around 15 BC, after which native silver coinage rapidly disappeared from circulation.
