Unfortunately, they often come from amateurs and are loose discoveries. Only gold coins associated with the minting of the Boii tribe have been known in Lower Silesia so far. Three specimens of silver coins were discovered during surface excavations carried out at the La T\u00e8ne culture settlements in Warkocz and Raczyce. Two of them are items of the obol denomination, categorized as the type \u201cwith a star\u201d. These coins are among the oldest issues made in silver, characteristic of the local minting of the Boii tribe. The horse-and-star motif appearing on them probably comes from Roman coins minted probably in the first half of the 3rd century BC. The third item is a fragment of a large silver coin (tetradrachm) found in Warkocz. It is a coin of a hitherto unknown type, resembling issues from the Carpathian Basin area. These findings confirm the links between the Celtic inhabitants of Lower Silesia and the settlement center located in the so-called Amber Route corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Celts, Boii coinage, silver issues, La T\u00e8ne culture, Lower Silesia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI:<\/strong> https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52800\/AJST.1.19.a4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dul\u0119ba, P. 2024. \u201cFirst Finds of Celtic Silver Coins from Lower Silesia\u201d, <em>Notae Numismaticae \u2013 Zapiski Numizmatyczne<\/em> 19: 93\u2013105.
