| Additional information |
Amphipolis had been a Macedonian royal mint of considerable importance before Rome reorganized the region into Macedonia Prima following the defeat of Perseus at Pydna in 168 BC. The city retained its mint rights under the new provincial arrangement, making it one of the few Macedonian civic mints to produce bronze coinage continuously through the transition from kingdom to Roman province.
SNG ANS 106–110 encompasses several obverse and reverse die groupings rather than a single unified type — collectors should cross-reference die axis and fabric carefully when attributing individual specimens to the narrower sequence.
