Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. The coin on the left has a boiotian shield design, featuring a raised border and a concave center with a design resembling a shield. Two curved indentations are on either side of the shield. The coin on the right depicts a volute-krater, an ancient Greek vase with two handles on either side and a wide body that tapers towards the base. On the bottom right of the krater is a letter "B". The background of the image is a light blue-gray color.
