Tetradrachm Sattelkopfpferd Type

Beschrijving voorzijde	Stylized male head facing right, rendered in a barbarized Celtic-Dacian artistic tradition derived from the Macedonian tetradrachm prototype. The facial features are bold and schematically executed, with a prominent nose, defined chin, and vestigial eye rendered in low relief. The hair is depicted in thick, flowing locks swept back from the face, characteristic of the degenerate Philip II imitative coinage tradition. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with a flat, unadorned field surrounding the effigy.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A horseman riding right atop a horse depicted in the characteristic 'Sattelkopfpferd' (saddle-head horse) style, with the animal's head rendered in an exaggerated, schematic manner. The rider is shown as a simplified schematic figure seated upright, holding what appears to be a spear or staff. Below the horse, a ground line is visible, while subsidiary ornamental elements appear in the field to the right of the horse's head, consistent with the Dacian barbarous imitative series. The composition is crowded and boldly struck, reflecting a mature stage of stylistic degeneration from the Macedonian prototype.
