Additional information

Without a confirmed issuing authority, attribution of small archaic silver fractions like this remains genuinely contested. Diobols of this weight range circulated across the Aegean and Ionian coastal cities as everyday transactional coinage — the kind of piece exchanged for a day's ferry crossing or a measure of grain, never hoarded because no individual piece was worth the effort.
