| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Dionysos facing left, rendered in high relief in the mature Classical Greek style. The deity is depicted bearded, with long flowing hair swept back behind the ear, adorned with a wreath of ivy or vine leaves, a characteristic attribute of Dionysos as the god of wine and patron deity of Thasos. The facial features are finely modelled, conveying a serene and divine expression. The portrait fills the flan, with no border or inscriptions on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thasos controlled some of the most productive silver mines in the northern Aegean, and the island's coinage in this period was tied directly to revenues from those mines as well as from a substantial wine trade with Thracian markets. The didrachm weight standard used here reflects Thasos's commercial orientation toward the Aegean rather than the heavier Thraco-Macedonian standards prevalent on the mainland opposite.
Philip II's eventual seizure of the Thracian mining regions after 340 BC effectively ended Thasian monetary independence at scale — making this issue one of the last didrachm series the city struck with full autonomous authority.
