| Beschrijving keerzijde | Deeply concave reverse displaying the hallmark 'Muscheln' (shell or mussel) motif of the Boian coinage tradition, featuring two prominent rounded lobes in relief at the center, surrounded by radiating ridges or flutes that evoke the ribbed valves of a bivalve shell. The boldly sculptural, die-sunk design fills the concave field and is framed by a heavily crinkled, irregular border produced by hammering. The composition is entirely abstract and anepigraphic, with no legend, symbol, or mintmark present, consistent with Celtic coinage of the 2nd to 1st century BC from the western Carpathian region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii were expelled from their Bohemian territories by the Marcomanni around 58 BC, a displacement that effectively ended their minting activity in that region. The 'Muscheln' — shell — type belongs to the western Slovakian Boian tradition, a geographically distinct production center from the better-known Bohemian issues, and Castelin's classification separates them accordingly. These fractional gold pieces circulated in a monetary environment where weight integrity mattered far more than denominational convention.
