| Reverse description | Concave incuse field bearing a deeply struck T-shaped symbol prominently centered within the die area, characteristic of the Systemverwandte type associated with the Boii. The incuse T motif, with a broad horizontal bar and a vertical stem, is rendered in bold relief against the recessed field. The flan edge is irregular, consistent with the hand-struck production technique, and the field shows typical surface striations from hammering. No legend or additional devices are present. |

| Additional information |
The Boii were among the most territorially ambitious of the Celtic tribes, occupying a broad arc from Bohemia into the Po Valley before Roman military pressure and the catastrophic Cimbrian migrations of the late 2nd century BC progressively collapsed their domains. Their gold coinage developed from Macedonian prototypes — almost certainly Philip II staters entering Celtic territory as mercenary payment — and underwent generations of deliberate stylistic abstraction. The Systemverwandte classification groups fractional types sharing structural relationships in their design grammar rather than a single mint origin, reflecting a decentralized striking tradition with no fixed monetary authority.
