| Additional information |
Perinthos, a Thracian coastal city on the Propontis, spent much of the fourth century under sustained Macedonian pressure — Philip II besieged it in 340 BC, and the city only survived through intervention from Byzantium and Persia. Bronze civic coinage of this type was struck in the aftermath of that siege, when the city reasserted its independence and resumed normal municipal functions. The BMC and Copenhagen references place this among a well-documented but genuinely scarce class of Perinthian bronzes.
