| Reverse description | A male head in profile facing left, rendered in shallow incuse within a recessed square punch, consistent with early archaic hammered coinage technique. The hair is depicted in elaborate rounded locks arranged in a scalework pattern across the crown, with a single curl visible before the ear. The facial features are modelled with restrained archaic naturalism, the lips slightly parted. A plain rectangular incuse bar is visible beneath the truncation of the neck. No legend or inscription appears. |

| Additional information |
Northern Greece in this period was a patchwork of small poleis and tribal mints operating with considerable autonomy, many of which struck silver coinage without leaving enough epigraphic or archaeological evidence to assign confidently to a single issuing authority. Attribution remains genuinely contested among specialists, with proposed candidates shifting as new hoards surface from the region.
