Obverse description	Convex, globular gold surface with a characteristically irregular flan typical of Celtic hammered coinage. The field exhibits a smooth, domed relief with subtle surface undulations and no inscriptions or figural devices, consistent with the abstract Celtic tradition of the Boii tribe. The surface retains a rich golden luster with minor die flow lines and flan irregularities along the periphery.

Additional information	The Boii were among the most territorially ambitious of the Celtic tribes, occupying a broad arc from Bohemia into the Po Valley before Roman military pressure and the catastrophic Cimbrian migrations of the late 2nd century BC progressively collapsed their domains. Their gold coinage developed from Macedonian prototypes — almost certainly Philip II staters entering Celtic territory as mercenary payment — and underwent generations of deliberate stylistic abstraction. The Systemverwandte classification groups fractional types sharing structural relationships in their design grammar rather than a single mint origin, reflecting a decentralized striking tradition with no fixed monetary authority.
