Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Boii of Southwestern Slovakia, made of silver and weighing 2.20g, is interesting because it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features the image of a Greek goddess, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during this time period.
