Misanthropus:
Thanks for the description, Luigi. I'd never have guessed that's what was on either side, I tell you, not even in a god-induced trance!
Catuvolcos:
Here's a picture where you can see what the original design was on the obverse (head to the right) and the reverse (horse with biga) during the second century BC.

Thanks for the clarification! Things certainly DID fall apart, didn't they?
Catuvolcos:
Yes they did and that's why I love celtic coins!
