| Reversbeschreibung | Heavily stylised Celtic horseman to left, representing a drastically abstracted rendering of the Macedonian rider type ultimately derived from Philip II coinage. The horse's body is reduced to a globular mass with elongated, rod-like legs terminating in pellets, while the rider is similarly schematised into geometric components with limbs indicated by simple linear elements. A series of pellets and lunate symbols are arranged along the lower field, serving as decorative or symbolic fillers. The entire composition exhibits the bold, reductive aesthetic characteristic of the Sattelkopfpferd (saddle-head horse) series produced by Eastern Celtic workshops. |

The "Sattelkopfpferd" — saddle-head horse — designation refers to a morphological classification within Celtic coinage studies, grouping issues whose horse imagery has degenerated through successive die-cutting generations into a form barely recognizable as equine. This is not artistic license but accumulated copying error: Celtic die-cutters working without a centralized mint system reproduced from existing coins rather than a fixed prototype, and each generation of dies drifted further from the Macedonian tetradrachms of Philip II that started the whole tradition.
Attribution to "uncertain Eastern European Celts" reflects genuine scholarly deadlock — distribution finds point broadly to the Carpathian Basin, but no tribal mint site has been definitively linked to this type.
