Additional information

The Boii who produced this type were not the Bohemian Boii expelled by the Marcomanni around 50 BC, but a residual or related group settled along the middle Danube basin. The Tótfalu classification within Göbl's Celtic coinage system groups a cluster of related drachm types sharing die traditions that suggest a concentrated, possibly single-community minting operation rather than a tribal-wide issue.

Göbl 516/2 sits in a sequence where die links between obverse and reverse pairings are tight, implying short production runs.
