| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse galloping vigorously to the right, depicted in full stride with all four legs extended, consistent with the equestrian imagery emblematic of Macedonian and Thessalian coinage traditions. The Greek civic legend ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚHΣ is disposed around the type, referencing the city of Thessalonika. The execution is characteristic of the compact, energetic style found on late Hellenistic bronze civic issues of this mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thessaloniki was refounded by Cassander around 316 BC, consolidating several smaller settlements into a single city named for his wife — Alexander the Great's half-sister. By the second century BC the city had grown into one of Macedonia's most commercially active ports, and its bronze small-denomination coinage reflects sustained civic production across a period that saw Macedonia absorbed into the Roman provincial system after 148 BC. The dichalkon continued circulating well into the late Republican period, its longevity a function of practical demand rather than political stability.
