| Beschrijving keerzijde | A trident, symbol of Poseidon and maritime Hermione, displayed vertically at center within a wreath of olive or laurel branches. Two doves or birds are perched symmetrically at the upper terminals of the wreath, facing inward. The civic abbreviation ΕΡ (for Ερμιόνη, Hermione) appears in small letters in the central field flanking the trident shaft. The overall composition is well-centered and typical of Argolic civic bronze coinage of the fourth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermione was a small polis on the Argolid coast, perpetually overshadowed by Argos yet stubbornly autonomous in its coinage. The city maintained a sanctuary of Chthonia — a chthonic form of Demeter — that drew enough regional pilgrimage traffic to sustain local bronze production well into the Hellenistic period. The "small letters" variety distinguished here refers to the epigraphic style of the ethnic inscription, a detail that has allowed specialists to sequence the city's bronze issues into at least two distinct emission groups.
BCD Peloponnesos 1295.1 is the benchmark specimen for this subtype.
