| Additional information |
Dikaia was a small Greek colonial settlement on the Thracian coastline, almost certainly founded by Eretria, and it issued coinage during a period when the region was under persistent Achaemenid pressure following Darius I's European campaigns. The city disappears from the historical record with unusual abruptness around the mid-fifth century, and the compressed timespan of this coinage likely reflects that truncated civic life rather than any minting policy.
The HGC 3.2 census lists surviving examples in the low dozens.
