CELTIC, Lower Danube. Uncertain tribe. Early 3rd century BC. AR Tetradrachm (17.23 g, 5h). Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; tripod in left field. Unpublished in the standard references. EF, slight die shift on obverse.

By virtue of its style, fabric, and weight, this Alexander imitation is certainly an early issue, probably struck during the first decades of the third century BC.
