Chalkon

正面描述	Forepart of a dove in flight to left, wings outstretched, rendered in low relief with characteristic schematic feather detailing. The bird, a civic symbol of Sikyon associated with Aphrodite, is depicted with head raised and tail feathers visible beneath the wings. The type is set within a plain, slightly irregular round flan typical of small Sikyonian bronze coinage of the period.

附加信息	Sikyon occupied an unusual position in the Greek world — long governed by tyrants, it became one of the first Peloponnesian cities to issue bronze small change after the region's political landscape shifted following the Spartan defeat at Leuktra in 371 BC. Bronze coinage of this kind was a pragmatic response to the near-disappearance of Spartan iron currency and the disruption of silver supplies through traditional channels. Sikyon's silver staters had circulated widely, but this chalkon served purely local exchange needs.
