| Beschrijving keerzijde | A schematically rendered kneeling archer depicted in a highly abstracted Celtic La Tène artistic style, occupying the central field. The figure is shown in profile facing right, with the head rendered as a circular pellet surmounted by a concentric ring device, and the torso indicated by a plain bar. The bow is represented by a series of parallel vertical lines with terminal pellets to the left, and the drawn bowstring and arrow are shown as bold horizontal raised lines extending to the right. The legs are indicated by angular geometric forms, conveying dynamic movement in a manner characteristic of Boian Celtic coinage of the late second century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii occupied much of what is now Bohemia and parts of the Pannonian basin until Roman and Germanic pressure — culminating in a devastating defeat by the Dacians under Burebista around 60 BC — effectively ended them as a coherent political force. This coin predates that collapse, circulating among a tribe known to Roman writers as among the most militarily aggressive of the transalpine Celts. The kneeling archer type is generally understood to derive ultimately from Macedonian gold prototypes, filtered through multiple generations of Celtic abstraction.
Boian gold coinage was struck by hammer between dies with minimal standardization, accounting for the irregular flans typical to the series.
