Abstract

This article examines the type of Celtic coins known as Kryspinów type staters, represented by five known specimens. It provides an archaeological context, highlighting a complex cultural landscape of communities coexisting in the milieu of the La Tène tradition. The Kryspinów type is identified as a local issue, attributed to the Tyniec Group, yet primarily circulating among the population associated with the Przeworsk culture. The paper also presents the results of XRF analysis conducted on two specimens. The iconography of the type, which combines motifs borrowed from shell staters of the Boii and Republican denarii, is discussed, with three classes distinguished based on variations in the reverse design.
