Drachm

Maroneia, the Thracian coastal city celebrated in antiquity for its wine, struck these small silver drachms during a period when the city was reasserting commercial independence after decades of Persian pressure and the disruptions of the Peloponnesian War's aftermath. The city's coinage from this window is relatively consistent in type but shows meaningful variation in die workmanship, suggesting output from a small civic mint operating without sustained professional continuity.

SNG Copenhagen 615 remains the standard reference point for attribution. Die studies on this series are thin.
