| 表面の説明 | Facing head of Athena, helmeted, rendered in archaic Greek style with broad facial features. The goddess is depicted en face, a relatively rare orientation in Greek bronze coinage, emphasizing the apotropaic power of her gaze. The helmet covers the crown of the head, with details partially obscured by natural bronze patina and surface wear. The flan is irregular, typical of federal Phokian bronze issues of the early fourth century BC. |

Phokis issued federal bronze coinage during a period when the Amphictyonic League — the religious council controlling Delphi — was dominated by Phokian interests. That arrangement collapsed violently when Phokis seized the sanctuary itself in 356 BC, triggering the Third Sacred War. Coinage attributed to the years just before that seizure carries an awkward historical irony: the issuing authority was about to be excommunicated by the very institution it had been administering.
SNG Copenhagen 113 provides the standard reference for this type, with the Copenhagen collection specimen remaining the primary comparative anchor for attribution.
