One interesting fact about the Hexadrachm (Coisa Type) coin from Boii of Southwestern Slovakia is that 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, likely Artemis or Aphrodite. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, where Celtic tribes interacted and traded with Greek cities in the centuries leading up to the Roman Empire.
