| Beschrijving keerzijde | Herakles kneeling to right in the archer's stance, drawing a strung bow with both arms extended. A salamander appears above his knee in the field. The Greek inscription ΘΑΣΙΟΝ is divided on either side of the figure. The entire design is enclosed within a linear square border set within a deep incuse square, a hallmark of early Thasian silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thasos built its monetary wealth almost entirely on two resources: the silver mines of the Thracian mainland across the strait, and a wine trade dominant enough that Thasian amphorae have been excavated from Spain to the Black Sea coast. This drachm circulated through that commercial network, accepted widely enough that Thasian coinage required no explanation at ports where the city's wine jars were already familiar.
The date range spans the period when Thasos was briefly stripped of its mainland peraia by Athens, recovered it, lost it again, and negotiated its way back to regional relevance — monetary continuity through considerable political disruption.
