| Beschrijving voorzijde | Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, depicted facing, with the characteristic curved cutouts on either side forming the distinctive double-arc openings. The shield's convex boss dominates the central field, surrounded by the incurved rim. The design is boldly executed in the archaic Greek hammered tradition, with strong three-dimensional relief typical of Boeotian civic coinage. |

Tanagra's independent coinage was always modest in output, reflecting a city that punched above its weight politically — most famously when its citizens sided with Sparta against the Theban-led Boiotian League at the Battle of Tanagra in 457 BC. This obol falls within the period of renewed Spartan dominance following Leuktra's aftermath, when Boiotian civic identity was being actively contested and local minting carried quiet political weight.
The BCD collection reference places this among a tightly documented group; the BCD Boiotia sale at Lanz in 2002 remains the benchmark for attributing these minor silver fractions.
