Boeotia Koroneia? Fourth Century BC?

AE hemichalkon (9mm 0.70g)
Obv: Boeotian Shield
Rev: Greave, K - O | Branch - P

Extremely rare, one of three known examples, NN auction 62 lot 8 for other example.

This unpublished type, once thought to be a silver obol, has been confirmed via XRF to be a bronze piece, making it the second known bronze type from this scarce mint. Dating of this piece is problematic, and for now the smallest window that can be accurately given is the fourth century BC. This issue is extremely interesting, showing a diagonal legend for a mint that did not use this legend style outside the type. The greave is uncertain in meaning, but likely referring to the military activities of the city. It could have been minted in relation to the third sacred war, in which the city was actively involved in. Another issue from the neighboring region of lorkis is also known with a greave; however, this is a silver denomination, not a bronze one. This example is struck from a middle stage die, signifying that it is part of a larger issue. Whatever the true nature of this denomination is, its currently the smallest known boeotian bronze, and a curious specimen.
