Cf. HGC 6, 359 (for prototype). 16.18g, 32mm, 1h.
Extremely Fine. Light golden tone over lustrous metal.
From the collection of D.G., United Kingdom.
This rare Celtic imitation tetradrachm displays a head of Dionysos so degraded that it is hard to identify specific elements within the design, and indeed at first glance some believe it more resembles a cockerel within a square frame border than Dionysos.
