| Beschrijving keerzijde | Deep incuse square of the Aeginetan type, subdivided into a skew or mill-sail pattern by diagonal and orthogonal raised ridges creating four asymmetrically divided compartments. The incuse is sharply impressed and characteristic of early archaic hammered coinage technique common to the Aeginetan weight standard. The overall impression is bold and deeply cut, with no inscriptions or additional devices present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Orchomenos was one of Boeotia's oldest and most powerful cities — rivaling Thebes in regional influence during the archaic period — yet its coinage at this fractional level is extraordinarily rare, surviving in numbers that suggest extremely limited production runs. The tetartemorion, a quarter-obol, circulated as one of the smallest denominational units in the Greek world, suitable for single-transaction retail exchange in local markets.
BCD Boiotia 200 represents a type documented almost entirely through the collection that gave the reference series its name.
