| Additional information |
Kalymna, the principal polis of the island of Kalymnos in the southeastern Aegean, issued coins under the name of the magistrate Peisistratos — a naming convention that places administrative responsibility directly on an individual citizen rather than an anonymous mint authority. This practice, common among smaller Aegean island mints in the Hellenistic period, means the name functions as a dating tool as much as a signature.
The reference to HN Online 1801 places this squarely within the series catalogued by the Hellenic Numismatic database, though Kalymnan issues from this narrow two-year window remain sparsely documented in auction records.
