Euhesperides was a Greek colonial city on the Libyan coast — modern Benghazi — founded by settlers from Cyrene, itself a Theran colony. The city changed hands repeatedly between Greek factions and Carthaginian forces throughout the fifth century, and its very survival as a minting authority during this period was precarious. That coinage was struck here at all during these decades reflects intervals of Greek political control rather than any continuous civic stability.

The BMC references only three specimens, which gives a reasonable index of how rarely this type surfaces.
