Additional information

Tragilos was a small settlement in the Strymonic Gulf region of Macedonia, and its independent coinage is attested for only a brief window before the city was absorbed into the expanding Macedonian sphere under Archelaus and his successors. Issues of this size — the smallest denominations in the civic series — circulated locally at a time when the region was contested between Athenian colonial interests and Macedonian consolidation. The SNG ANS reference ties this piece to a handful of known specimens, making the type genuinely scarce in any condition.
