| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Delphic tripod occupies the central field, its three legs clearly articulated, with a serpent entwined about the shaft and upper cauldron — an emblem closely associated with the oracle at Delphi and with Apollo. The Greek ethnic legend of the city of Chalcedon runs around the periphery within a beaded border, affirming the civic authority of the issuing mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Calchedon occupied the eastern shore of the Bosphorus directly opposite Byzantium, a position that made it strategically significant but perpetually overshadowed. When Elagabalus came to power in 218 following the defeat and death of Macrinus at the Battle of Antioch, the cities of Bithynia quickly issued coins in his name — civic bronze production was as much a gesture of political alignment as a practical monetary act. Calchedon's output under Elagabalus is sparse, and VI#3512 is not a commonly encountered type.
