Chalkon

Thyrrheion was a city of the Akarnanians, a people whose federal coinage arrangements make attribution of individual civic issues genuinely complicated. This bronze was struck during a period when Akarnania was repeatedly drawn into the conflicts between Macedonia, Epirus, and the Aitolian League — the Akarnanians notably allied with Macedonia against Pyrrhos of Epiros in the early third century, a political alignment that shaped which mints remained active and which did not.

HGC 4, 931 places this among the scarcer civic bronzes of the region, with relatively few specimens recorded in major collections.
