To me, this looks Celtic drachms, imitating Philip II of Macedon. Celticized head of Zeus left / Celticized horse advancing left. However, the style is far from those occur here (Pannonia).
The celator had hardly seen any original one before he made the dies.

Do you know where was it found?

I do not recall seeing anything similar and suspect it is modern.

Thanks for helping me. Coin was found in south Austria. I do not think that is modern imitation. Maybe is celtic Noricium.

It is a EXTREMELY RARE noricum COPO type with a "venetian legend on the left CO-PO".

That's interesting.
From which reference book is the "snippet" you are showing here?
