Reverse description	Athena Alkis standing left in a dynamic striding pose, depicted in the Celtic abstract manner with a schematized torso and elongated limbs. The goddess raises a large oval shield in her left hand and brandishes a spear in her outstretched right hand, in the classic Alkis fighting stance derived from Macedonian coinage prototypes. A Celtic legend in retrograde or native characters fills the field to the left and right of the figure, the entire composition exhibiting the characteristic La Tène stylization that distinguishes Boian coinage from its Greek archetypes.
