The coinage is centred on the reverse and barely off-centre on the right, showing the entire elaborate headdress. With a slight patina on the original lustre. Superb at Fleur de coin.
This type of tetradrachm would have had a privileged area of circulation west of Noricum at the end of the first half of the second century BC. The rider on the reverse is wearing a very interesting and unusual helmet, topped with three globules.
