KyNumis Posted September 13, 2023 · Member Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hello everyone, today (or yesterday to be precise) I bought my first Boeotian coin! Its a neat obol minted Tanagra featuring the boeotian shield. Absolutely feel free to show off some of your Boeotian coins! Recently I have decided to change my collecting interests a bit and discover the world of Boeotian coinage. To say the least I'm not disappointed at all. Some of the most incredible coins, with staggering history. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see from some of your previous posts you are also a fan of Boeotian coinage 🙂 What are some of your dream types? I'm still saving up for a Boeotian stater, and perhaps I'll get an obol or hemidrachm next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
