| Additional information |
Phaloria was a minor Thessalian city whose coinage output was extremely limited, and the dichalkon is among the few denominations attributed to it with any confidence. The HGC and BCD references align this type within the broader Thessalian koinon period, when smaller poleis struck bronze locally while larger civic and federal issues dominated the region's silver coinage.
The city itself is poorly documented in ancient sources, which makes die studies — particularly the BCD collection's two separate Thessaly sale entries for this type — the primary tool for understanding even approximate production volume.
