Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hexadrachm (Evorix Type) coin from Boii 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, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Celtic-Greek interaction in Europe.
