| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain, deeply convex and essentially blank obverse die, characteristic of the Zweigarm series of Eastern Celtic silver coinage. The strongly domed flan surface bears no intentional design elements, displaying only the natural flow lines and surface texture resulting from the hammered striking process. This featureless obverse is a hallmark of this particular Celtic tetradrachm type, in which artistic expression was concentrated entirely on the reverse. Light die-contact marks and natural patina are visible across the broad, irregular field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylized Celtic interpretation of a horse prancing to the left, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The horse's body is dominated by a large globular pellet representing the torso, with schematic, disjointed limbs rendered as elongated curved lines beneath. Above the horse, a distinctive bifurcated branch or 'Zweigarm' (two-armed) symbol — the type's namesake — appears prominently, flanked by curvilinear appendages and additional pellets scattered across the field. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction of the Macedonian tetradrachm prototype, transformed through successive Celtic re-engraving into a purely decorative, symbolic design. The reverse is struck within a slightly raised border on the recessed die. |
