Celts Lower Danube AR Drachm (2nd-1st Century BC) F NGC
During the second and first centuries BC, Celtic tribes inhabiting the Lower Danube region produced their own distinctive coinage, drawing inspiration from the prestigious currencies of their neighbors. This silver drachm is a compelling example of such regional craftsmanship, created as an imitation of the famous Philip III coinage. Weighing approximately 3.75 grams (about 0.12 troy ounces of silver), the coin features a stylized obverse design depicting the right-facing bust of Philip III. The reverse side presents a seated figure of Zeus, a classic motif adapted by Celtic artisans. This particular specimen has been preserved in Fine condition, offering a tangible look into the artistic interpretations of ancient tribal mints.
