| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized Pegasus or Celtic horse galloping to the right, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic style characteristic of the Boian coinage of southwestern Slovakia. The animal displays a prominent wing or raised foreleg above the body, with schematized musculature and a flowing tail curving beneath the hindquarters. The horse occupies the central field of the deeply concave flan, which exhibits a pronounced bowl-like incuse common to hammered Celtic drachms of this series. No inscription or legend appears in the field. The design ultimately derives from the Corinthian stater's Pegasus prototype, progressively abstracted through successive Celtic die generations. |

The Boii who struck this type were not the Bohemian Boii familiar from Caesar's accounts but a related group occupying the Danubian basin, pushed progressively eastward by the late second century BC. The Simmering and Réte classification groups coins found concentrating around those findspot regions, a typological convenience that reflects genuine geographic clustering in the archaeological record rather than a minting distinction.
By the mid-first century BC, Boian political power in the region had collapsed under pressure from the Dacians under Burebista, who effectively destroyed the confederation around 60–50 BC. Coins of this type found after that horizon were likely buried hoards, not active currency.
