First of all, this is not medieval history, but late Iron Age (around 900-500BC), so it is considered prehistoric or from early antiquity (before the Roman era).
Celtic tribes conquered parts of Slovakia towards the end of the Iron Age. These coins are from then.
The medieval era came after the fall of the Western Roman Empire beginning in the 5th century AD. So these coins are about a thousand years before the start of the dark ages in Europe.

When they say "beginning of anno Domini" they probably mean about the beginning of the Christian era (1st century B.C. or 1st century A.D.). Celtic tribes were more widespread then than later including parts of Central Europe.
First Greek coins are in the 500s B.C. "Tetradrachm" suggests that these coins were minted based on familiar denominations of Greek or Macedonian coins ("tetra-" is from the Greek word for "four").
