| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing view of a Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, its distinctive cutouts on either side clearly delineated within a broad, slightly raised circular border. The shield's convex central boss dominates the field, with the characteristic paired lateral notches framing the upper portion of the device. The surface displays fine hammered texture consistent with early Classical Greek coinage, and the flan presents the typical irregular outline of hand-struck silver of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thebes dominated the Boeotian League through much of this period, and the city's control over the federal coinage meant its staters functioned as the region's primary trading currency across central Greece. The late fifth century saw Thebes navigating between Sparta and Athens with calculated opportunism — siding with Sparta against Athens in the Peloponnesian War, then quietly shifting alliances by the 390s as Spartan hegemony grew intolerable.
The BCD collection reference here is significant: the Boeotia hoard material assembled by that collector remains the definitive die-study resource for this series, and the multiple concordance references suggest this is a well-documented die pairing rather than an obscure outlier.
