Danube Celts, AR Tetradrachm, Sirmium, 2nd Cent BC

Derived from the Macedonian Kingdom of Philip II

Silver alloy; 22mm/11.6gm   "Kugelwange" type

Con/ A few and negligible die-rust inclusions, otherwise, about Extremely Fine; boldly struck on each side; superior image of Zeus and an extraordinarily superb example of a Celtic horse.

Obv/ Laureate and bearded head of Zeus r.

Rev/ Free horse prancing left, left foreleg raised

Seller's Note/ Our price for this simply gorgeous example is ridiculously low, folks as it is a tetradrachm rather than the more common drachm.

Sirmia was a fertile region of the Pannonian Plain in Europe, between the Danube and Sava rivers. Today, it is divided between Serbia in the east and Croatia in the west.
