背面描述	The infant Herakles depicted seated facing, nude, with head turned to right, his arms outstretched as he strangles two serpents, one in each hand. The scene captures the mythological episode of Herakles demonstrating his divine strength in infancy. In the left field, a strung bow is visible, while in the right field a club appears, both serving as attributes and iconographic references to the hero's future exploits. The ethnic inscription ΘΕ, an abbreviation for Thebai, appears divided between the left and right fields. The reverse was struck with a square or irregular incuse punch typical of early classical Boeotian coinage.

附加信息	Thebes dominated the Boeotian League throughout this period but had not yet achieved the military supremacy it would seize at Leuctra in 371 BC. These staters served as the primary commercial currency of a region whose agricultural wealth — particularly grain — drove active trade with Corinth and Athens despite persistent political tensions. The Boeotian shield type on coinage of this federation was among the most consistently maintained civic symbols in the Greek world, used across multiple issuing cities while Thebes controlled the league's monetary policy.
