| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the bowl of the helmet decorated with incised lines and a prominent crest; the facial features rendered in archaic-transitional style typical of Cretan coinage of the 4th century BC, with a pronounced nose and strong jaw. The portrait fills the flan with no visible legend or border, consistent with the anonymous civic issues of Rithymna. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rithymna was a minor Cretan polis whose independent coinage output was limited and relatively short-lived, squeezed between the dominant minting activity of Knossos and Gortyna. The city's silver issues are poorly documented in the ancient literary record, and attribution has relied almost entirely on numismatic analysis — the SNG Copenhagen and Svoronos references remain the primary anchors for any specimen.
Fewer than a handful of die studies have been attempted on this type, leaving the chronology approximate at best.
