| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse advancing to left, rendered in the highly abstracted Celtic manner characteristic of Boian silver obols. The horse's body is depicted as a schematic mass, with elongated, separated limbs terminating in pellets or globules, and a prominent pellet eye visible above the neck. The head is reduced to a simplified curved form, and the overall composition reflects the progressive geometric abstraction of Greek prototype equine types. No legend or exergual inscription is present. The flan is irregular with typical hammered fabric. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii occupied a vast swathe of central Europe before Caesar's Gallic campaigns and Dacian pressure from the east combined to shatter their political coherence by the mid-first century BC. The "Simmering and Réte" classification groups a cluster of small silver fractions sharing die-linked characteristics first systematically documented through hoards found in the Vienna basin and southwestern Slovak sites — Réte being one of the key findspot assemblages used to anchor the typology.
At 0.69g, these sat at the lowest functional denomination the Boii struck in silver, likely used in small-scale exchange rather than tribute or inter-tribal payment, which tended to involve larger module pieces.
