| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tall, tapering omphalos-style obelisk of Apollo stands at center, flanked symmetrically by two dolphins with bodies curving upward on either side, their heads directed toward the top of the field. The composition is framed by a border of raised dots encircling the entire design. The arrangement of dolphins flanking the sacred monument is a hallmark type of Megarian bronze coinage, referencing the city's close religious ties to the Delphic cult of Apollo. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Megara occupied an awkward position throughout the classical and early Hellenistic periods — squeezed between Athens and Corinth, periodically devastated by both, and briefly allied with whichever power posed the lesser immediate threat. By the time this bronze was struck, the city had survived Macedonian domination under Philip II and was navigating the fragmented politics of the Diadochi. Small civic bronzes like this served local markets when larger silver coinage had become scarce or politically complicated to produce.
