Tetradrachm Warasdin B Type

The "Warasdin" types take their name from the Croatian city of Varaždin, near which significant hoards of these Celtic silver pieces were recovered in the 19th century. East Noricum — broadly corresponding to modern Styria and parts of Slovenia — sat at a crossroads of Celtic tribal territories where coinage circulated as much through gift exchange and tribute as through market transaction. The Kostial 156 classification places this within a tightly defined die study, though the two-century span of the type reflects ongoing scholarly difficulty pinning Celtic potin and silver issues to specific decades without hoard context.
