This type is quite similar with original type (Philip II of Macedon type struck at Abydos under Philip III) it imitates (see link below for example).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a charioteer facing right, which is a unique design element for coins from the Uncertain Gallia Celtica tribes. This suggests that the coin may have been used for specific purposes or ceremonies, or that it was intended to convey a particular message or symbolism. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold and weighs 17.05g suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
