Note
Drachms of Tótfalu type are named by the village where 944 pieces of this type have been found in 1903. These drachms weight around 2,5 grams and are very gaudily illustrated. R. Paulsen (1933) classed these coins to boii strikes, because many varieties are similar to drachms of Simmering type. It is possible to differentiate these two types. Drachms of Simmering type are lighter and smaller. Drachms of Tótfalu type are very rare when we take into account the intensity of occurrence and we still don’t know where they have been striked. It is likely that it come somewhere from the area of the Danube “knee” (area around the slovak and hungarian border).
