| Additional information |
Terina was a Greek colonial city on the Tyrrhenian coast of Bruttium, founded by settlers from Croton in the late sixth century BC. Its coinage is notable for its exceptionally fine die-cutting, and the city's output was abruptly terminated — almost certainly when Bruttian tribes overwhelmed the region in the late fourth century, ending Greek civic life there entirely. No successor coinage exists.
The SNG ANS 873 reference places this diobol within a tightly documented series. At just over a gram, these small silver fractions saw real daily use in a prosperous but geographically isolated port economy.
