| 正面描述 | Convex, unadorned globular surface of debased gold, entirely devoid of figural or epigraphic design. The flan displays a characteristic domed, plano-convex profile typical of Celtic fractional gold coinage, with a heavily corroded and pitted surface revealing patches of residual gold alloy against a darkened base-metal groundmass. No devices, symbols, or legends are present; the plain field serves as the obverse by convention. |

| 背面描述 | Concave incuse field framed by a raised circular border, within which a bold T-shaped symbol — likely a stylized torque or cross motif — is rendered in low relief at the centre of the die. The symbol features a horizontal bar surmounting a vertical stem, executed in the schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of late Celtic Boian fractional coinage. The surrounding incuse depression is smooth and relatively well-preserved, retaining clear gold surface across the central device field. |

The Boii, a Celtic people who occupied parts of what is now Bohemia and Bavaria, produced coinage under sustained pressure — first from Roman expansion in northern Italy, which displaced many Boian groups northward after the Battle of Telamon in 225 BC, then from the encroaching migrations of Germanic tribes. Their gold issues grew progressively more debased across this period, the gold content declining as access to bullion became unreliable and political cohesion fractured. By the final decades before the Boii effectively disappear from the historical record, fractions like this were likely serving exchange functions at the margins of a collapsing tribal economy.
