Interesting coin, I wish I knew more about these coins but I don't have any idea where it's from.

I know very little about them either.

There are a few places online you might check though.

and wildwinds, of course http://wildwinds.com/coins/celtic/i.html

Looks to be in the style of the Boii. The large pellet above the horse is unusual.

I think this coin is Danubian Celts and Totfalu type, because that drachmas are very similar.
For example:

But, I couldn't find obol from this type.

Celtic coins always have a very characteristic style, its primitive and quite simple.. I like it!
