| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped male bust facing left, rendered in the schematised Celtic artistic tradition derived from Hellenistic prototypes. The hair is elaborately rendered with a braided or torque-like diadem across the crown and flowing striated locks curling at the neck. A stylised branching tree or plant motif occupies the left field before the face, while a ribbon or torque element appears in the field behind the head. The facial features — large almond-shaped eye, broad nose, and parted lips — are characteristic of late La Tène die engraving. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii were expelled from their Bohemian territory by the Marcomanni around 50 BC, an event that effectively ended their capacity for organized minting. Coins attributed to the "Titto type" — named for the abbreviated inscription read as a personal name, unusual for Celtic issues — belong to the late phase of Boian production, when contact with Roman coinage was already reshaping the weight standards of trans-alpine silver.
The inscription itself remains disputed; whether it denotes a tribal leader, a moneyer, or something else entirely has not been resolved in the literature.
