| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned to left, his right hand extended and holding an eagle, his left resting on a long sceptre; the throne and figure are rendered in a degenerate, Celtic-abstracted style derived from the standard Alexandrine drachm reverse. A blundered and largely illegible imitation of the Greek legend appears to the right of Zeus, while a schematic amphora symbol is positioned to the left in the field. The overall composition reflects the progressive stylistic debasement typical of Celtic imitative coinage of this series. |

Celtic imitations of Alexander's coinage were struck across a vast geographic arc for well over a century, but the eastern European issues — particularly those attributed to tribes in the middle Danube basin — represent the furthest ideological drift from their Macedonian prototype. By the time pieces like this were being struck, the original types had been in circulation long enough that local die-cutters were working from worn coins rather than official models, producing progressive stylistic abstraction that was functional rather than artistic ambition.
The Kostial and Göbl references place this within a recognizable typological cluster, but "uncertain" attribution here reflects genuine scholarly disagreement, not cataloging laziness.
