Obverse description Celticised male head facing right, adorned with a three-strand pearl diadem rendered in the characteristic 'Wuschelkopf' (tousled-head) style. The hair is depicted as a mass of large raised pellets or globules cascading prominently across the crown and behind the head, a hallmark of the East Noric Celtic artistic tradition. Facial features are schematically modelled in the Celtic idiom, with a pronounced eye rendered as a raised blob, a simplified nose, and a small mouth. A beaded border frames the flan at the periphery.
