Celtic imitative of a rare Macedonian issue struck under Philip V and Perseus, 187 - 168 B.C. The choice was appropriate for the Serdi Celts as the river Strymon runs through the Serdi region.
Bronze AE 19, Malloy Danube Celts type B5B; imitative of a Macedonian Kingdom (Philip V and Perseus) type, 187 - 168 B.C., SNG Cop 1299, aF, nice blue-green patina, 3.266g, 18.5mm, 45o, obverse reed-wreathed head of the river god Strymon right; reverse simple trident, no inscription. A rare and unusual find, this is a blisteringly powerful psychometric contact coin, with direct linkage to the most ancient Celts -- note the B.C. date! This comes from a metal-detector search.
