| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized Celtic interpretation of the laureate head of Zeus, facing right, derived from the Macedonian tetradrachm prototype of Philip II. The hair is rendered as bold, plastic curls framing the face, with exaggerated features characteristic of La Tène artistic abstraction. A dotted border encircles the design, and a trident-like symbol appears in the left field. The die-cutting reflects the Celtic craftsman's progressive departure from the Hellenistic prototype toward an increasingly schematized, native aesthetic. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii were a Celtic people whose migrations brought them through the Balkans before settling across what is now Bohemia, Moravia, and parts of Lower Austria. Their coinage imitated Macedonian tetradrachms — specifically those of Philip II — not as tribute or trade convenience, but as a functional currency for a society that had absorbed enough Hellenistic commercial contact to understand the weight standard's value. The die-cutters worked increasingly far from the source material with each generation of copying, producing the progressive abstraction characteristic of La Tène-period Celtic coinage.
Pink's classification of this type across references 579–588 reflects genuine die-series distinctions, not curatorial padding.
