Obol Kleinsilber Type

The Boii were expelled from their Bohemian territories by the Marcomanni around 50 BC, effectively ending their presence as an organized tribal group in central Europe. These tiny fractional silver pieces were struck during the final century of that occupation, and the type's continued production across such a broad span suggests repeated local recasting rather than centralized mint control. The specific weight standard tracks a degraded Obol tradition ultimately derived from Greek colonial contact along the Danube corridor.
