| Additional information |
The Boii were expelled from their Bohemian homeland by the Marcomanni around 58–50 BC, scattering remnant groups into the Danube basin. This small silver drachm belongs to the fractional coinage produced by communities navigating that displacement — struck not from the security of an established tribal center but from populations in transition, which partly explains the wide geographic spread of findspots across southwestern Slovakia and the Hungarian plain.
The Simmering and Réte classification reflects two distinct hoard findspots that anchored the typology.
