Additional information

Phalanna was a minor Thessalian polis in the Perrhaebian region, and its independent bronze coinage is attested only within a narrow window before Macedonian consolidation under Cassander effectively absorbed the city's autonomy. The BCD collection — assembled by the collector known as BCD and dispersed at auction by Nomos — remains the definitive reference corpus for Thessalian civic bronzes precisely because so many of these small-denomination issues survive in single-digit quantities.

This dichalkon is one of the rarest attributions in that corpus.
