Diobol

Leukas was an Acarnanian colony established by Corinth in the late seventh century BC, and its coinage reflects that relationship closely — early issues mirror Corinthian weight standards before the city gradually asserted its own monetary identity. The diobol, the smallest practical silver denomination in regular circulation, served interisland and regional trade across the Ionian and Ambracian Gulf networks where Leukas held strategic positioning.

SNG Copenhagen 333 places this type within a well-documented but compositionally varied series. Collectors should note that several die linkages across Leukadian fractions have been identified in scholarship following the Copenhagen catalogue, making specimen-level comparison worthwhile.
