Celtic Tetradrachm, A Philip II imitation

Through a series of attempting to get an auction house window to propagate on my work PC, which hates pop-ups, and spamming the left mouse button; I bid on the very first lot of an auction by accident. @Sallent and I have something in common.

This is my second Celtic imitation, but a lot less common than the typical drachm. I can't find one that looks similar. Especially with the crude, elementary shaped Horse on the reverse.




I'm keeping it. Post your Celtic imitations.

Great coin, not just the crude horse the rider is as well, congrats.

 

VERY cool Kugelwangel variety! I really like the "crude" horse that you have! As a Tet that is an even better capture!

I have a couple Philip II of Makedon Drachmae imitations:



Celtic Imitation Philip II drachm Kugelwangel type

 

these types of coins are collectible in the their own right. i bought this one about 12 years ago as just a barbarous celtic and have just been able to id it as a ae tet of phillip ii in the last couple of months.

 

I absolutely LOVE the OP !!

Like Brian, I recently picked up a 'Kugelwangel' example:

 

Beautiful drachm Michael, I love it! I wish my accidents were as lovely as yours.

 

Love the OP coin.

 

I would have kept it as well.
