Dichalkon - Aischis

Argos maintained an unusually active civic bronze coinage into the first century BC, long after many Peloponnesian cities had effectively ceded monetary production to the Achaean League or to Roman commercial pressure. The magistrate name Aischis — rendered in the genitive as an issuing authority — reflects the Argive practice of attributing small bronze issues to a named official, a system that allows modern scholars to sequence these coins even when absolute dates remain contested.

The Copenhagen reference places this among a tightly grouped series, suggesting concentrated production rather than extended issue.
