| Additional information |
Abdera, the Thracian coastal colony originally founded by Clazomenae and later refounded by Teos around 545 BC, punched well above its weight as a commercial center during the fifth century. Its coinage was notably prolific for a city of its size, driven by access to Thracian silver sources and active trade across the northern Aegean. May's die study of the series remains the essential reference, identifying this diobol within a closely sequenced emission that helps narrow production to the mid-century decades.
