Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hexadrachm "Titto Type" coin from Boii is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a mythological scene, this coin bears an image of a boar, which was a symbol of strength and bravery in ancient Celtic culture. This design choice reflects the cultural influences and traditions of the Boii tribe, who were known for their skill in metalworking and their fierce warrior spirit.
