Checked off an Imitative tetradrachm from the Celtic tribes from my bucket list.
The coin really shows how poorly they cared about quality, the dies are not only worn, but had cracks evident from all the Cuds. The obverse has what's supposed to be Hercules, with Zeus on the reverse while mine only shows the eagle and his knee. Also, it is significantly more cup-shaped than the original one. 14.8 grams.

Just a comparison with my actual tetradrachm, I wonder how many times the die was struck to get to this point of smoothness!
