Comment
Allen-Nash 144; Paulsen pl. 12, 253; SLM 1153. W. 575;Interesting fact
The Boii of Bohemia's 1 Stater coin, made of gold and weighing 7.64g, is an interesting piece of history because it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized horse, a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side bears the image of a lion, a symbol often associated with Greek culture. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Hellenistic period, making the coin a fascinating artifact from a time of great cultural change and exchange.
