Interesting fact
The Drachm (Tótfalu Type) coin from Boii of Southern Slovakia and Northern Hungary, made of Silver weighing 2.45g, is interesting because it features a unique combination of Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features the image of a seated figure, reminiscent of Greek coins. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the region during that time period.
