背面描述	A tall amphora with two handles depicted in three-quarter relief at center, set within a shallow incuse square forming the border of the design. To the lower left of the amphora appears the Greek letter delta (Δ), and to the lower right the letter iota (Ι), together constituting a magistrate's or issuing authority's abbreviated mark. The composition is compact and well-centered, typical of Boeotian federal coinage of the early third century BC.

附加信息	The Boeotian League's federal coinage was one of the ancient world's earlier experiments in issuing coins on behalf of a political confederation rather than a single city-state. This hemidrachm falls within the decade following the death of Alexander the Great, when Boeotia navigated the brutal fragmentation of his empire — the Diadochi wars pulled Greek poleis into shifting alliances, and the League's ability to maintain federal monetary output during this period reflects a degree of institutional continuity that many neighboring regions could not sustain. The Demetrius Poliorcetes occupation of much of Greece after Ipsus in 301 BC bears directly on the political backdrop of the later issues in this date range.
