Beschrijving keerzijde Horse prancing to the left in a stylized Celtic rendering, occupying the central field. Above the horse, a slightly curved line with thickened or club-shaped terminals is depicted. Below the horse, a volute-like loop encloses a central pellet, a decorative motif characteristic of the Roseldorf II type Celtic coinage. The design is executed in a schematic, abstracted style typical of La Tène period Celtic die engravers. No legend or inscription is present.

Aanvullende informatie

The Boii occupied a broad swath of central Europe — Bohemia takes its name from them — before Roman military pressure and catastrophic defeats against the Dacians in the late second century BC effectively destroyed them as a coherent political entity. The Roseldorf site in Lower Austria has emerged as a key findspot for this type, suggesting a minting or redistribution center well north of the Alpine passes.

At under a gram, these fractional silvers functioned at the lowest practical denomination of Celtic commerce. Kostial #94 represents a tightly defined die grouping within a broader obol tradition whose full chronology remains contested.
