I came across this one, pretty neat!
CELTIC, Middle Danube. Uncertain tribe. Late 2nd-early 1st century BC. AR

type. Male

Apollo?) left / Rider on horseback left, showing only
his torso; torque-like ground line below.
Gorny & Mosch 141 (10 October 2005), lot 22 (same dies); Gemini IV, lot 10 (same dies); otherwise unpublished.
Superb EF,
toned. Fully centered. Very
rare.
This coin is from a newly discovered
type clearly related to the Reiterstumpf/Kroisbach
type by virtue of the close similarity of their
reverse types, as well as the overall
style and characteristics of their flans. The
obverse type has a stylistic
affinity with the left-facing male heads on the Apollokopf/Leierblume
type, particularly in the details of the
face and jaw line (
cf. Göbl, OTA 396-398). Both the Reiterstumpf and Apollokopf
types are attributed to the same general region and time frame, so a new
type combining elements of both is not unexpected.
