背面描述	Caduceus depicted centrally in the field, with the characteristic winged staff and intertwined serpents rendered in bold relief. A grape bunch appears to the right of the caduceus, serving as a secondary type symbol. The ethnic legend AINION is distributed around the central device in Greek majuscules, reading in segments across the field.

附加信息	Ainos, a Thracian coastal city at the mouth of the Hebros River, maintained enough commercial independence through the Hellenistic period to issue its own bronze small change despite repeated pressure from Macedonian and later Lysimachean overlords. The dichalkon denomination served local market transactions that silver simply couldn't reach efficiently — fractional bronze like this was the currency of the agora stall, not the treasury. AMNG II#381 places this within Imhoof-Blumer and Pick's foundational corpus of ancient Greek bronze, a classification still used by specialists where later scholarship hasn't superseded it.
