| Reverse description | Three-line Greek ethnic inscription enclosed within a laurel or olive wreath. The wreath, tied at the base, frames the civic legend symmetrically in the field. The lettering is arranged in three horizontal lines reading ΤΑΝΑΓΡΑΙΩΝ, identifying the issuing city of Tanagra in Boeotia. The engraving is characteristic of small-denomination civic bronzes of the Augustan period in central Greece. |

| Additional information |
Tanagra's civic bronze issues under Augustus are among the least-documented provincial coinages of the Greek mainland — the city had long since faded from its classical prominence, and its output during this period was modest enough that die studies remain incomplete. The reference I#1315 places this among a small cluster of Augustan-era issues from Boeotian towns reasserting local identity through coin production as Roman administrative structures consolidated across Achaea after 27 BC.
