| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central convex pellet or boss rendered in high relief, encircled by a series of concentric curved lines evoking a stylised wreath or spiral motif. The surface exhibits the characteristic irregular, hand-struck flan typical of Celtic coinage, with a naturalistic, almost abstract rendering consistent with late La Tène artistic tradition. No inscriptions or legends are present in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted representation of a horseman, reduced to schematic curved and linear forms characteristic of late Celtic coinage. The figure is rendered in low relief across a concave, irregularly shaped flan, with the horse and rider largely dissolved into abstract design elements. No legends or inscriptions appear in the field, consistent with the aniconic late La Tène coinage tradition of the Boii. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii were expelled from northern Italy by Roman military pressure in the early 2nd century BC and resettled in the region Romans called Boiohaemum — modern Bohemia. Their gold staters descend typologically from Macedonian prototypes, specifically Philip II issues that entered Celtic hands through mercenary service and trade, then underwent progressive stylistic abstraction over generations of local die-cutting.
No mint infrastructure in any Roman sense existed. Production was decentralized, likely controlled at the tribal or sub-tribal level, which accounts for the wide die variation and inconsistent flan preparation seen across the type.
