Southern Danubian Celts, c. Late 4th - Early 3rd Century B.C.
|Celtic| |&| |Tribal|, |Southern| |Danubian| |Celts,| |c.| |Late| |4th| |-| |Early| |3rd| |Century| |B.C.|, The earliest Celtic imitations of Philip II tetradrachms are very similar to the Macedonian originals. It isn't always completely clear if a coin is a Celtic imitative or an oddly engraved Macedonian original. Fairly quickly the imitative inscriptions were shortened and then blundered. Over time the head of Zeus was increasingly "Celticized" and eventually both the head of Zeus and the horseman devolved into barely recognizable abstract forms. This coin is similar to the original but, with a rather exotic head of Zeus, could never be confused with the Macedonian prototype.
SH66568. Silver tetradrachm, CCCBM I 7 var. (very similar obv, different rev symbols), Göbl OTA 18/2 var. (similar rev), Lanz 360 var. (similar rev), VF, tribal mint, weight 13.957g, maximum diameter 25.3mm, die axis 135o, c. late 4th - early 3rd century B.C.; obverse Celticized laureate head of Zeus right, dot border; reverse ΦIΛIΠ-Y, naked youth on horse pacing right holding palm frond, Λ over torch below, uncertain object (dolphin?) below raised foreleg, dot border; derived from the Macedonian Kingdom tetradrachms of Philip II; SOLD
