背面描述	Within a shallow incuse square, a nude bearded hero — identified as Herakles — kneels in the standard kneeling-running pose to the right, drawing a strung bow held at full extension with both arms outstretched. The musculature is boldly rendered in the archaic convention, with the figure shown in profile. The Greek ethnic legend ΘΑΣΙΟΝ appears in the left field in retrograde or upright archaic Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Thasos. The incuse square border is clearly defined, a hallmark of early Thasian silver coinage.

附加信息	Thasos derived enormous wealth from silver mines on the Thracian mainland opposite the island, and from a wine trade so lucrative that Thucydides — himself a Thasian landowner — documented the colony's commercial reach across the northern Aegean. This drachm series falls within a period of sustained Athenian pressure on Thasian autonomy, following the forced demolition of Thasian walls and fleet in 463 BC after a three-year siege. The island's monetary output never fully recovered its archaic scale, and fractional silver from this period circulated primarily in regional trade rather than wider Greek markets.
