| Additional information |
The magistrate name "Anti" — almost certainly an abbreviation of Antikrates or a similar Boeotian theophoric name — places this stater within the period of Theban ascendancy in Boeotia following the restoration of the Boeotian League after 395 BC. The dating bracket 390–382 BC ends precisely at the Spartan seizure of the Kadmeia, when a Spartan garrison occupied the Theban citadel and the League was effectively dissolved. Coins struck under these magistrates ceased abruptly with that occupation.
