Æ10

Paros, the Cycladic island whose white marble supplied sculptors across the Greek world, struck small bronzes like this throughout the classical and early Hellenistic periods with little systematic documentation — which explains the BMC "var." attribution. The island's mint output was modest, tied more to local commercial need than any ambition of regional monetary influence.

The variation from the catalogued BMC 10 type likely reflects a die substitution or minor magistrate change, both common in small island mints where engravers worked with limited oversight across decades.
