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.
