BOEOTIA, Thebes. Circa 363-338 BC. AR Stater (24mm, 12.11 g, 11h). Kalli–, magistrate. Boeotian shield / Amphora; KA-ΛΛI across field; all within incuse concave circle. Hepworth 63; BCD Boiotia 555; HGC 4, 1334. Minor die rust on obverse, small flan flaw on reverse. Good VF. The staters of the Boiotian Confederacy of the 4th century are well known to numismatists. These staters, struck on the Aiginetic standard, bear on the obverse the usual Boiotian shield and on the reverse an amphora, with the addition of magistrate names and, on occasion, vines hanging from the handles or extra symbols around the amphora. Although the coins do not bear the mark of an issuing city, Thebes, as hegemon of the Boiotian Confederacy, was most likely responsible for their issuance. In his study of the series, "The 4th Century BC Magistrate Coinage of the Boiotian Confederacy," Numismatica Khronika (1998), R. Hepworth has identified 44 different magistrates and 97 separate varieties. The series begins in the early years of the 4th century and ends at the Battle of Khaironeia in 338 BC.

ATTICA, Athens. Circa 454-404 BC. AR Tetradrachm (24mm, 17.13 g, 10h). Helmeted head of Athena right, with frontal eye / Owl standing right, head facing, closed tail feathers; olive spray and crescent to left; all within incuse square. Starr pl. XXIII, 1–3'; Kroll 8; HGC 4, 1597. Deep iridescent tone, a couple of tiny test cuts on edge. VF. Early post-454 issue. The certain elements of the style of this tetradrachm, particularly the palmette on Athena's helmet and the stance of the owl, suggest that this coin was among the earliest issues in the ubiquitous "frontal eye"/classical tetradrachms of the mid-late 5th century at Athens, as these features more closely resemble those found on the later groups of early-mid 5th century issues analyzed by Chester Starr.
