| Beschrijving voorzijde | Male head facing right, rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition with dramatically stylised radiating hair depicted as bold incuse lines emanating from the crown and temples. A circular boss or pellet is prominently positioned near the centre of the design, likely a schematic rendering of the eye or a decorative element. The entire composition is enclosed within a wreath border formed by intertwined linear branches, characteristic of late Celtic coinage derived from Macedonian prototypes. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Celticised horse prancing to the left, its body rendered in an abstracted La Tène style with schematic musculature indicated by pellets and curved lines. A six-spoked wheel symbol appears above the horse in the upper field, a common apotropaic or solar motif on Celtic coinage of this region. The legend NONNOS is inscribed in the field, likely denoting a tribal authority or magistrate name. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction of Macedonian equestrian prototypes characteristic of Boian silver coinage of the late La Tène period. |

The Boii were expelled from their Bohemian homeland by the Dacians under Burebista around 60–50 BC, an event that effectively ended their existence as a coherent political entity. Coinage attributed to them in this late period was likely struck in the decades just before that collapse, making any surviving example a product of a culture already under terminal pressure. The Kostial 87 reference places this hexadrachm within a classification built largely from hoard evidence rather than documented mint sites — the Boii left no written records of their own monetary production.
