| Beschrijving keerzijde | A trident displayed upright at center, its three prongs rising prominently, with decorative scroll-work or volutes adorning the base of the shaft — an allusion to Poseidon, the principal deity of Troezen in ancient mythology. The abbreviated civic ethnic ΤΡΟ (for Troezenioi) appears to the right of the trident in Greek characters, set within a plain, unbordered field. The design is bold and well-centered, typical of small bronze civic coinage of the late fourth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Troezen, the small Argolic city best known in antiquity as the birthplace of Theseus and the refuge of Athenian civilians during Xerxes' invasion of 480 BC, produced a modest bronze coinage in the late fourth century as the city navigated the turbulent aftermath of Alexander's campaigns and the shifting hegemonies of the Diadochi. The chalkon denomination itself sits at the low end of the everyday transaction — grain, oil, small market dealings.
The Traité III attribution pins this firmly to the post-Classical municipal series, when many Peloponnesian poleis were asserting local identity through bronze coinage even as their political autonomy eroded.
