Obverse description Boeotian shield rendered in fine relief at center, depicted in facing view with characteristic cutouts along both sides, set within a raised circular border. The shield's distinctive silhouette — the hallmark civic emblem of the Boeotian League — is rendered with careful attention to its curved form and lateral notches. The flat field surrounding the device is plain and unlettered, consistent with the small module of this fractional denomination. The die work is competent for the period, exhibiting the bold, graphic style typical of fourth-century Theban coinage.
