| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a shallow incuse concave circle, a stamnos-style amphora centered in the field, with a spearhead pointing to the right positioned above. The magistrate's name, abbreviated OΛ YM, is distributed across the field flanking the amphora, identifying the issuing official responsible for the coinage. The incuse square technique and concave treatment of the reverse are characteristic of Boeotian federal silver staters of the mid-fourth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thebes issued this stater during the period of Boeotian hegemony that followed the Spartan defeat at Leuctra in 371 BC — a decade in which the city under Epaminondas and Pelopidas briefly dominated Greek affairs more completely than any polis since Athens. The "Olym" ethnic on the reverse identifies the magistrate responsible for the issue, a practice that helps numismatists sequence the Theban series with unusual precision for the period.
The hegemony collapsed almost exactly when this series ends: Epaminondas died at Mantinea in 362 BC, and Thebes never recovered its position. Philip II's destruction of the city in 338 BC closes the sequence entirely.
