Tetradrachm Warasdin A Type

The Warasdin group takes its name from the Croatian city of Varaždin, where significant hoards of these late La Tène silver coins were recovered in the 19th century. East Noric coinage of this period was produced by Celtic tribes operating in the eastern Alpine and Pannonian zones, functioning within a monetary economy sophisticated enough to sustain recognizable regional type families across multiple generations of dies. Kostial's corpus remains the essential reference for Noric Celtic coinage precisely because the political entities behind these issues left no written record — the coins are often the primary archaeological evidence for the groups that struck them.
