Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm (Simmering and Réte Type) from Boii of Southwestern Slovakia is that it features a unique combination of Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a stylized head of Apollo, while the reverse side features a depiction of a horse and rider, which is a common motif in Celtic art. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the region during the time period.
