Abstract
The so-called barbarian coinage that arose beyond the European borders of the Hellenistic world is one of the hardest chapters of ancient numismatics; what remains unsettled or disputed is above all the ethnic attribution and the dating. Most scholars have treated these issues as a whole as the work of Celtic tribes, which is why the term Celtic coins became established. More recent work shows, however, that it cannot cover a number of issues from the Danube and Carpathian region which are of other origin; there the term Geto-Dacian coins is gaining ground. The paper sets out to show, with numismatic, archaeological and historical arguments, that the oldest barbarian coins were not struck in western and central Europe.
