| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised rider on horseback advancing to right, rendered in characteristic Celtic abstract manner derived from the Philip II tetradrachm prototype. The letters YU appear behind the rider, Y before the horse's head, and Π below the foreleg of the horse. A letter Y is positioned on a low rectangular pedestal beneath the horse, giving this issue its distinctive typological name. The horse's body and the rider's figure are greatly simplified, with limbs and torso reduced to curvilinear and geometric forms typical of Eastern Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Celtic silver coinage of this broad type derives ultimately from the Macedonian tetradrachms of Philip II, which flooded into central and eastern Europe through mercenary payments and trade across the fourth and third centuries BC. The "Y auf Postament" designation refers to a specific schematic reduction of the original reverse charioteer — a stylistic endpoint reached after generations of die-to-die copying progressively abstracted the Greek prototype into something entirely Celtic in character.
Attribution to a specific tribe remains impossible with the evidence currently available. These pieces circulated across a wide corridor from the Carpathian Basin into the Balkans, and find-spot evidence alone rarely narrows the issuer.
