Diobol

Without a secure attribution, this piece sits in a category that has frustrated specialists for generations — dozens of minor Greek mints produced diobols of nearly identical module and weight during the Archaic period, and without a findspot or die-link study, pinning an issuer is often impossible. The weight corresponds closely to the Aeginetan standard, which dominated much of the Peloponnese and Aegean islands before Athens muscled it out following the mid-fifth century.
