| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing view of a Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, its characteristic oval form defined by a raised border with two symmetrical lateral cutouts. The convex central boss dominates the field, flanked by the distinctive curvilinear notches that identify this type as the standard emblem of Boeotia. The flan is irregular and the die work is bold, typical of early Classical Theban coinage. |

A club is placed above the amphora in the upper field. The legend ΘΕ (abbreviation for Thebai) appears divided to either side of the amphora, identifying the issuing city-state. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Theban staters of this period were struck under the shadow of persistent Spartan dominance over Boeotia — the region's poleis had been forced into a Spartan-aligned league following the Peace of Nicias in 421 BC, and local coinage served partly as an assertion of Boeotian federal identity when political autonomy was constrained. The Theban mint was not the sole producer of Boeotian federal coinage; Tanagra, Orchomenos, and others struck under the same federal types, which complicates attribution without die-study confirmation.
The Nanteuil reference without a BCD Boiotia number suggests this piece either falls outside the main die sequences Hepworth and others catalogued, or represents an unpublished obverse-reverse pairing.
