Obverse description Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, depicted as a round convex form with characteristic lateral cutouts on each side, set within a plain circular border. The shield's boss is prominent at center, and the two opposing concave notches at left and right are clearly articulated, faithfully reproducing the distinctive shape emblematic of Boeotian coinage. The field surrounding the shield is flat and unadorned. No legend or inscription appears on this face. The striking is typical of the hammered technique, resulting in a slightly irregular flan.
