| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of a Boeotian bull rendered in archaic style, depicted frontally with prominent horns curving outward to either side. The bovine head fills the flan, with the muzzle, nostrils, and eyes rendered in low relief characteristic of early fifth-century Boeotian coinage. The surface is slightly irregular, consistent with the hand-struck hammered technique of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse square divided into four triangular sections by diagonal lines meeting at the centre, forming a windmill or quadripartite pattern typical of archaic Greek coinage. The incuse punch is deeply impressed and roughly square in form, with each triangular quadrant showing slightly raised surfaces against the recessed field. This reverse type is characteristic of early Boeotian silver coinage of the late Archaic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tanagra's coinage from this period belongs to a Boeotian tradition that preceded full integration into the Boeotian League's federal coinage system. The city maintained its own autonomous issues into the early fifth century, and hemidrachms of this type are among the last expressions of that independence before regional monetary consolidation gathered force after the Persian Wars.
BMC Greek 4 is a well-documented type, but surviving examples are scarce — Tanagra never produced coinage at the volume of Thebes or Corinth.
