| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised Celtic interpretation of a laureate and bearded head of Zeus facing right, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, parallel curved ridges sweeping across the upper field, while the beard dissolves into abstract pellet-and-arc motifs. The facial features are reduced to geometric elements, including a prominent circular eye rendered as a raised pellet within a rounded socket. The entire design is enclosed by a border of pellets, typical of the Hercuniate coinage workshop. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hercuniates were a Celtic people settled in the region of Pannonia, roughly corresponding to modern western Hungary and eastern Austria. Their coinage belongs to a broader tradition of Danubian Celtic imitative issues derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes, though by the time types like this one were struck, the formal connection to the Greek originals had dissolved almost entirely into abstract local idiom. The Kapostal type takes its name from the Hungarian findspot distribution concentrated around that area.
Göbl's classification system for Celtic coinage of this region remains the primary scholarly framework, and Kostial 822 / Göbl 503/3 places this piece within a well-documented but numerically modest group.
