| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse prancing or galloping to the right, depicted in a lively, energetic pose with forelegs raised. The reverse legend ΚΑΣΣΑΝ / ΔΡΟΥ (genitive of Kassandros) is divided into two lines, likely placed in the field around or below the horse, identifying the issuing authority as Kassander, King of Macedonia. The die work is typical of late 4th-century Macedonian bronze coinage, with broad flat fields and a bold, if somewhat worn, central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kassander seized control of Macedonia through a combination of political maneuvering and outright murder — he had Roxane and the young Alexander IV quietly eliminated around 310–309 BC, extinguishing the Argead line entirely. His coins therefore occupy an awkward historical position: struck by a regent who became king by destroying the dynasty he nominally served. The dichalkon denomination itself was a small-change workhorse of Macedonian urban markets, produced in quantity to facilitate everyday transactions at a time when the kingdom was rebuilding after the chaos of the Diadochi wars.
