| Reverse description | Head of the hero Melanippos or a local deity facing slightly left, rendered in archaic-classical style with detailed hair treatment and wreath elements visible around the crown. The legend ΠΛΑ, an abbreviation for ΠΛΑΤΑΙΕΩΝ (of the Plataians), is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city-state. The reverse die shows characteristic wear consistent with small-denomination hammered silver coinage of the Boeotian region in the early fourth century BC. |
