| Obverse description | Bare head of a deity or local hero facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of Boeotian civic bronze coinage. The portrait is set within an irregularly shaped flan, with the abbreviated ethnic legend ΤΑΝΑ appearing in the field, identifying the issuing city of Tanagra. The surface shows characteristic green patination consistent with extended burial, with flan irregularities typical of hand-struck provincial bronzes of the late Hellenistic period. |
