| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised equestrian figure wearing a crested helmet advancing to right, the horse rendered in a schematic Celtic manner with exaggerated musculature and a flowing mane. A trident symbol appears in the field behind the rider, serving as a principal type identifier. A vestigial and fragmentary legend, derived from a degraded Greek inscription, appears above and before the rider, rendered as meaningless letter-like strokes reflecting the Celtic engraver's unfamiliarity with the Greek alphabet. A triskeles motif is placed beneath the foreleg of the horse, functioning as a secondary control symbol and a characteristic decorative device of Eastern Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The attribution "Uncertain Eastern European Celts" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — this type circulates through overlapping zones of Celtic settlement across the middle Danube basin, and no single tribal group has been convincingly fixed as the issuer. The trident and triskeles iconography suggests contact with Greek colonial coinage of the Black Sea littoral, possibly Istros or Apollonia Pontica, whose silver circulated deep into barbarian territory through trade and mercenary payment during the third century BC.
