| Beschrijving keerzijde | A high-handled kantharos, the principal cult vessel of Dionysos, depicted in profile at centre, with two sinuous vine tendrils issuing from its mouth and curling symmetrically to either side, each bearing a pendant bunch of grapes. Above the kantharos, a single ivy leaf is placed in the upper field as an additional Dionysiac emblem. The ethnic abbreviation ΠΕ, referring to the city of Peparethos, appears in the field, identifying the issuing authority. The overall composition is neatly contained within the small flan and is characteristic of the fine engraving tradition of the northern Aegean island mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peparethos, a small island in the Northern Aegean now known as Skopelos, maintained enough commercial independence in the mid-fourth century BC to strike its own bronze coinage — no small matter for an island whose economy ran largely on wine, a product famous enough in antiquity that Peparethian wine jars have been found across the eastern Mediterranean. This chalkon falls within a period when the island was increasingly pressured by Macedonian expansion under Philip II, who would ultimately bring the Northern Aegean islands firmly under Macedonian influence before the century closed.
