Chalkon

Leukai was a minor Greek colonial settlement on the eastern Black Sea coast, in the region ancient sources associate with Colchis. Its independent bronze coinage is exceptionally rare in the numismatic record — the SNG British Museum Black Sea corpus catalogues only a handful of die-matched specimens — suggesting a mint of very limited output, likely serving local commercial needs rather than any regional monetary ambition. HGC 3 assigns a rarity rating that places this type among the least frequently encountered bronzes of the entire Pontic region.
