Additional information

Kleonai occupied an awkward position between Corinth and Argos, and its coinage reflects a city perpetually negotiating influence rather than projecting it. The fractional silver issues of this period are among the least documented in the Peloponnesian series, and BCD 1309 represents one of the few anchoring references for the type. The BCD collection itself — assembled by a single anonymous European collector over decades — remains the definitive corpus for Peloponnesian bronzes and silvers precisely because no institutional effort has matched its systematic scope.
