| Aversbeschreibung | Broad, irregular convex surface characteristic of Celtic hammered coinage, exhibiting a pronounced central bulge. The field is essentially blank and featureless, consistent with the highly abstracted style of the Tótfalu type, where the obverse serves primarily as a structural counterpart to the detailed reverse. Surface shows natural patination and irregular flan edges typical of hand-struck Celtic silver issues. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Highly stylized Celtic horse advancing to left, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The body of the horse is represented by a prominent raised globule forming the torso, with elongated limbs terminating in pellet-form hooves. A rosette composed of multiple pellets is positioned above the horse in the upper field, serving as a symbolic or decorative device. A curved, serrated or hatched arc element appears to the upper right, possibly representing a rider's shield or a decorative border motif. The overall design reflects the characteristic Celtic debasement and abstraction of the Hellenistic prototype. |

The Boii who produced this type were not the Bohemian Boii expelled by the Dacians around 60 BC, but a remnant population that had settled in the middle Danube basin after earlier migrations. The Tótfalu type takes its name from a Slovak village find site and belongs to a late phase of Celtic silver coinage in the region, when weight standards were already declining under pressure from Roman commercial influence and Dacian political disruption.
By the final decades of this date range, Celtic tribal coinage in the Carpathian basin was effectively dead as a monetary institution.
