CELTIC. Eastern Europe. AR Tetradrachm (12.34 gms), "Puppenreiter" type, ca. 3rd-2nd Centuries B.C. NGC Ch EF★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.

Lanz-720; OTA type-417. Imitating Audoleon. Obverse: Stylized laureate head of Zeus right; Reverse: Stylized rider on horse prancing right; ΛΛΛ above raised foreleg, Π below. Most attractively toned, this sharply struck example undoubtedly stands as one of the most alluring examples of this celticized issue. Well struck and highly elegant, with its star designation being wholly appropriate.
