| Additional information |
Troezen, the small Argolic city-state better remembered in mythology as Theseus's birthplace and the setting of the Phaedra tragedy, produced coins in extremely limited quantities — its output was never more than a civic necessity. The decade of the 370s–360s BC coincided with the turbulent aftermath of Leuctra, when Spartan hegemony collapsed and the Peloponnese reorganized politically under Theban pressure, leaving smaller poleis like Troezen navigating uncertain allegiances.
Specimens are rare enough that the BMC Greek corpus references only a handful of die-linked examples.
