Commentary


Si le statère d’or de Philippe II de Macédoine a servi de prototype à de nombreuses imitations gauloises, le tétradrachme n’a pas été imité en Gaule, mais reste principal sujet d’inspiration des monnaies pour les Celtes du Danube (LT. 9697-9767, 9768-9832, 9618-9630, 9870-9886). Les premières imitations furent frappées dans le premier quart du IIIe siècle avant J.-C. La fabrication des copies serviles, puis des imitations, enfin des frappes celtiques continuèrent pendant plus de deux siècles.
Au revers la torche correspond à Philippe III pour Amphipolis entre 323 et 316.
While the gold stater of Philip II of Macedon served as a prototype for many Gallic imitations, the tetradrachm was not imitated in Gaul, but remained the main source of inspiration for coins for the Danube Celts (LT. 9697-9767, 9768-9832, 9618-9630, 9870-9886). The first imitations were struck in the first quarter of the 3rd century BC. The manufacture of servile copies, then imitations, and finally Celtic strikes continued for more than two centuries. On the reverse, the torch corresponds to Philip III for Amphipolis between 323 and 316

Historical background


DANUBIAN CELTS - IMITATIONS OF THE TETRADRACHMS OF PHILIP II AND HIS SUCCESSORS

(3rd-1st century BC)

Under this title are generally grouped all the coinages that do not have a precise attribution. Sometimes the term "Eastern Celts" is offered. After the Celts plundered Delphi and spread through Greece and Asia Minor, they seized a significant amount of spoils, thanks to their plunder. The Hellenistic kings, Diadoques or Epigones, used them as mercenaries in their armies where the average salary was normally one stater of gold corresponding to five tetradrachms of Attic standard or twenty drachms. The prototypes which represented the head of Zeus with a horseman were widely copied and imitated throughout the Balkans, northern Macedonia and Thrace. The final phase of the coinage occurs at the end of the 2nd century or the beginning of the first century BC where there are no traces of the obverse and the reverse as well as legends more than a domed face of a coin. practically smooth on both sides.
