| Additional information |
Iolla was a small mint in ancient Thessaly, active during the fourth century BC, and its bronze issues remain poorly documented in the broader numismatic literature. SNG France 1109 represents one of the few anchored references for this type, which speaks to just how limited the surviving corpus is.
