| Beschrijving keerzijde | A mounted horseman advancing to the right, depicted in the schematic Celtic style derived from the Macedonian prototype of Philip II. The rider sits astride a compact, stylized horse shown in full stride, with angular limbs and a simplified body. The horseman wears a crested helmet rendered as a small rounded cap with a curved projection, and extends one arm forward. Subsidiary symbols flank the composition, including a solar wheel or annulet below the horse's raised foreleg and a small pellet at lower left, while a loose curvilinear device appears behind the rider. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Zweigarm" types — named for the branching, arm-like reverse motifs that distinguish them from Macedonian prototype coinage — emerged from Celtic workshops somewhere in the middle Danube basin, almost certainly copying Philip II tetradrachms that flooded the region through mercenary payments and trade. Pinning a specific tribe to these issues remains genuinely contested; the Kostial and Göbl classifications organize them typologically, not ethnographically.
Celtic die-cutters progressively abstracted the Macedonian prototypes across generations of copying, each workshop interpreting the previous generation's coins rather than the originals.
