| Obverse description | Boeotian shield depicted in high relief at center, its characteristic incurved sides clearly defined within a raised circular border. The shield device is rendered with bold, schematic artistry typical of early Classical Boeotian coinage, the concave field of the boss dominating the design. The entire composition is contained within a double incuse border, emphasizing the distinctive local emblem of the Boeotian League. |
