| Beschrijving voorzijde | Prominent convex boss occupying the central field, characteristic of the Muschel (shell) type, surrounded by a roughly textured, irregular border with a granular or striated surface evoking the ribbed exterior of a bivalve shell. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with Celtic hand-struck coinage. The raised central dome is smooth and highly polished, contrasting sharply with the roughly worked surrounding field. No inscription or legend is present, reflecting the aniconic Celtic tradition. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Broad, shallow concave incuse field occupying the entire reverse surface, with multiple raised linear strokes or ribs radiating outward from a central point toward the irregular flan edge, closely resembling the interior of a mussel or cockle shell. The radiating ridges are boldly rendered and evenly distributed around the central depression. The flan edge is uneven and lobate, typical of small-denomination Celtic gold coinage struck by the Boii. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii were a Celtic people whose territory stretched across what is now Bohemia and parts of Bavaria and Hungary, and their coinage was struck under sustained Roman military pressure throughout the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Their gold fractional issues — including this eighth-stater type — were produced alongside larger denominations as part of a monetary system that owed its initial impulse to Macedonian gold coinage absorbed through mercenary service and Danubian trade networks. The Muschel ("shell") designation refers to a typological classification by die style, not a design description.
